Delicate and fruity on the nose, thanks to aromas of fruit tart, yogurt-covered blueberries, and strawberries with cream. An undercurrent of baking spice adds a welcome layer of warmth. Like the nose, the palate is silky soft, propelled by more fruit—fresh orange slices, applesauce, and clementine—as well as balanced baking spice and a drop of vanilla extract. The finish stays on the same theme, lingering on for a while with spiced fruit flavors kept in check.
