Online tasting note for reference:

Nose:
Vanilla. Fresh red fruits, such as strawberries and red berries. Plums, but also a hint of apricots. Milk chocolate. Then I get some spices, such as cinnamon, cloves. And straw. Then it goes back to some sweeter and fruitier notes again. Honey. Sour oranges. Vanilla custard. Caramel. With water: Seems like it's getting spicier. I didn't expect that, ha! Some lemons also. Green apples and more milk chocolate.

Taste:
A nice thick and creamy mouthfeel. Creme Brulee. Toffee. Milk chocolate. Oranges and honey. Followed by spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of black pepper. Water makes it softer. Almonds. More towards lemons. And green apples again .

Finish:
A lovely long finish with creamy caramel, vanilla and black pepper. With water: Spices again. Mocha. Oranges and creme Brulee.
