The aroma features ripe citrus fruits and a good grain note, with slightly oily nuances reminiscent of coconut cookies. When tasted, it has a smooth mouthfeel and gentle expansion. The rich sweetness of honey and fruits was very impressive, with slightly oily characteristics and a long finish. In both aroma and flavor, it has more aging character than the actual maturation period, and during tasting, a variety of elements were detected. Among recent new releases, this bottle was particularly good.
