No contemporaneous notes. From a half-bottle. PnP. Elegant and very restrained at the moment. My friend identified a specific fruit (pears?) that I can't recall now. Will try another half-bottle later in the summer. This was consumed rather quickly.

Medium golden yellow with a wide rainy, translucent rim with some legs.
Intensely sweet on the nose with honey, caramel, crème brûlée, toffee, along with tropical fruits in pineapples, pears and dried apricots.
On the palate, it is quite tropical fruit forward in the beginning with pineapples and apricots, and transitions to the caramel and toffee notes in the mid palate. There is a good amount of acidity as well, which balances the sweetness and the fruits. Finish is decently long with a bit of heat, with the caramel and vanilla notes lingering around.
Sweet, but not overly so, with the acidity keeping this fresh. Delicious.
