: Ripe green apple aromas combine with exotic fruit and subtle ginger spice. Sicilian lemon zest leads to soft aged leather and a hint of marzipan.

Palate : Sweet pineapple flavors complement dried banana with herbal influences. Grapefruit and Brazil nut give way to mature oak.

Finish : A full and long finish with cocoa powder and fresh mint.
