Attractive, well-made leaves are adorned with a complement of silver and gold tips in this exemplary second flush selection from the esteemed Castleton Estate. A pronounced muscatel bouquet is supported by a warm toasty fragrance. The sweet, ambrosial flavor is rich with muscatel and stone fruit notes, enhanced by a hint of honey. The smooth finish lingers with subtle hints of spice.
