Deep amber with golden highlights, with a complex aroma of dried fruits, honey, caramel, and nuttiness. Its palate is smooth, velvety, and well-balanced, with notes of toffee, butterscotch, and orange zest. The texture is luxurious and rich, with a lingering finish with a delicate balance of sweetness and acidity.
