Color:  Full gold   Nose:  Soft, takes time to open up but then fills out to present delicate fresh-fruit notes; a sweet, clean fruit salad including honeydew melon, grape, mandarin zest, apple and pear over a base of fudge.   Body:  Medium   Taste:  First, generous smooth texture: fruity and sweet, then warming and tart with baked apple on the palate. Appetizing dryness develops, with black tea, offset by rum and raisin ice cream, lime and waxy vanilla. Finally some ginger, clove and a little salt.   Finish:  Long and warming, with a peppery tingle. Oaky and herbal with dry, coating tannins and a clean, aromatic finish. Spice lingers in the aftertaste, which combines milk chocolate and
