The nose is a bit reticent, but with time reveals lovely aromatics of kiwi, grapefruit, mango, banana, hibiscus, lilac, and pistachio. This light sweetness is borne out on the palate, which has tropical fruits, chai masala, brown sugar, rye bread, and a little nuttiness counterbalancing sharp oak and a full-bodied mouthfeel. The finish is short, with honeyed sweetness.
