Nose
Rich, deep floral notes with prominent roses. Cocoa and crisp cereal character. Orange zest. Fruity undertones. Alcohol present but not overwhelming. Hint of chocolate.

Long finish with lingering Pop Rocks sizzle that carries through multiple sips. Dark cherries and orange zest persist. Baker's chocolate undertones. Consistent oak presence.
Top notch
An exceptional expression with exceptional craft in the finishing process, featuring a beautiful balance of floral aromatics and a distinctly velvety mouthfeel that justifies the fairy dust designation.
