Spicy and creamy on the nose, with tons of baking spices that mix with fresh ripe oranges and a little rose perfume. The palate is similar, with more of the cream and spices, along with clover honey, orange peel and jasmine. A smooth texture is almost derailed by a splash of lime-tinged acidity, but the wine quickly recovers on the long finish. Give this a year in bottle for the elements to come together.
