"Clear. Sweet, fresh meringue, coconut cream, cane stalk, dried tropical flowers, and delicate mineral aromas. A buoyant entry leads to a silky, dryish medium-bodied palate with sweet sugarcane stalk, vegetable oil, coconut milk, and wet stone flavors. Finishes with a lightly sweet powdered sugar and warming, white pepper and talc fade. Delicately textured with subtle sugar essences, mild tropical fruitiness, and peppery heat. RATED: 90 points (Exceptional)" Beverage Tasting Institute, Dec. 1st 2005.
