As the flag drops, you'll experience rich red apple notes, followed by subtle hints of resinous spruce tips, cinnamon, and a delicate floral essence at the start. Cinnamon and cedar swiftly embrace the palate, transitioning to an alpine resin character. As you cross the finish line, a gentle floral note, reminiscent of honeysuckle and lavender, lingers gracefully.
