A little like a sweet shop but lots of pleasure! Rich and candied floral notes, masses of fun already. (JR)

Limpid yellow-gold. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of white peach, pear nectar, melon and tangerine feature a bright floral overtone and a hint of honey that builds with air. Juicy, seamless and densely packed, showing a suave interplay of richness and energy to the orchard and pit fruit and toasted brioche flavors. Shows outstanding power and depth on the impressively long finish, which echoes the peach and melon notes.
Rich spices on the nose, and voluptuous stone-fruit flavours on the palate. Really thick and syrupy in texture. Powerful and intense yet there is sufficient refreshment here too. (RH)
