Light in color and very fragrant. A rich nose of buttered popcorn, citrus and flowers. Some butterscotch on thae palate, with a waxy mouthfeel. Enough acids for freshness, but the butterscotch became a bit too strong for me after a while.

Dark yellow in color, but very fresh and lifted on both the nose and palate. Baked apples, anise and pears. Very mouth filling, with hints of tropical fruits poking through. Good length. Quite fresh with no signs of premox.
