Rich vanilla notes on the nose, superb and palate-coating with a warm dry finish.
All you need to do is learn how to pronounce the name (Och-roisk)
Nose: Chocolate drops, creamy aroma of patisserie with a hint of golden syrup.
Palate: Buttery smooth, dry, tingling exciting on the tongue, gentle lemons give way to a jammy sweetness.
Finish: The sweetness remains, but as it fades you are left with a certain desire for replenishment.
