Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: soft and fruity with subtle caramel, old but balanced oak; some crisp spices with a hint of older agave and candied fruits; a touch of earthiness with some mellow tropical fruit notes.

Palate: very soft, fruity and elegant; the tropical fruits really dominate, a little greenish and under-ripe; spices, candied fruit and more hints of agave emerge with some creamy beeswax and some faint earthy notes.

Finish: old and elegant, it dries but is still very rich and layered for its light profile.

Comments: very balanced for its age, far from over the hill.
