At first glance I did not think the Tentation was an apple. It looked like a narrow Asian Pear or some other fruit. My first impression of the flavor was that it was similar to the Lady Alice: that it was like a pear. This was true until it became sweet. It was like the most-sweet note of a pear was exponentially increased. The flavor stuck with me for longer than I had the piece of Tentation in my mouth. It is cloying and delicious. The Tentation was also crisp and juicy, allowing the flavor to come in full, which was quite welcome as I found the apple very good.
