Tasting notes：

Nose: Mature, ripe tropical fruits from a blooming orchard. Grapefruit, pineapple, banana. I must admit to being impressed by that first sniff. Let's delve deeper. There's an undeniably waxiness, just a hint of chalk, then some sandalwood and finally a tinge of syrup-drizzled pancakes.

Palate: Great texture, but it does not entirely live up to the promise of the nose. There's this slight nuttiness, some oak spices and a touch of ginger. Behind that veneer the fruit slumbers, but it never seem to awaken entirely. Slivers of chalk and a slight minerality, especially after adding water. It also boosts the citrus notes, and seemingly even adds the oily mouthfeel.

Finish: Medium length. A tad dry at times, but also a sliver of golden syrup, cereals and stewed apples.
