Tasting notes：

Nose: Starts with lots of tropical sweetness of mango, fresh peach, apricots and lychees. But also ripe bananas, papaya and passion fruit. Hints of green oak and mint. Marzipan and marshmallows as well. Subtle mineral notes at the background. Nice!

Palate: Now more on oranges and tangerines. Followed by citrus notes of pineapple cubes, pink grapefruit and kiwi. Touch of linseed and custard. Turkish Delight later on. Aniseed as well. Beeswax and some fudge in the background. Silky full-mouth coating juice with a slight liqueur-like edge.

Finish: Extremely long with hints of cinnamon, bergamot and a little clove. Some peel zest. An oak-rich afterglow at the end.
