Medium gold color. Aromas and flavors of cinnamon vanilla praline, caramel waffle, butterscotch, and orange honey in jasmine green tea with a round, crisp, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, intricate, very long finish manifesting accents of spiced poached pear, sesame candies, matcha vanilla ice cream, and suede and incense. Beautiful and complex aromas carry over to the palate and leave you pondering as this is unquestionably delicious but slightly more cerebral than hedonistic; a slow and cogitative dram.
