Tating notes from https://moredramslessdrama.com
 
Nose:
Very fruity from the start, with a medium intensity. Custard cream, soft spices, and a spoonful of honey. And, mostly, fruits, fruits and fruits. Tropical (mango, pineapple, papaya) and occidental ones (oranges, peach, plums). Gorgeous nose. Slight citrusy notes as well.
 
Palate:
A bit of oak, those tropical fruits from the nose, apricot, spices from the mizunara, and a slight bitterness reminiscent of black cherry. Green apple, orange peel, bananas. Honey and hints of sherry casks.
 
Finish:
Long, honey, oak, and lots of fruits, again.
