Nose
Pleasant and sweet with no alcohol burn. Fruity notes reminiscent of apple.
Palate
Definitely sweet with a creamy texture. Vanilla comes through clearly, with hints of tangerine citrus as noted on the bottle, though less pronounced than advertised.
Finish
Thin and short finish but maintains sweetness throughout.
Overall Score
3.3 / 5
A sweet and pleasant affordable pour with creamy texture and vanilla forward character that doesn't blow anyone away but makes a good buy at the price.
