Amber-colored in the glass with glints of gold. Lifted and elegant, the aromas recall honeysuckle blossom, pear, and toasty notes of oak and vanilla. The palate is soft, balanced, and oh-so-smooth, with notes of sweet pear and vanilla. The mid-palate is layered with toasted coconut and hints of fresh basil and thyme; gentle white pepper and lemon peel linger on the finish.
