TASTING NOTE
Appearance : burnished gold
Nose : fresh, unctuous. The extremely fruity first nose first characterized by citrus fruit (lemon). Allowed to breathe, it becomes nobly spicy (ginger, cinnamon) and herbaceous (peppermint). Then, gradually, delicious and invigorating sugar cane juice spreads across the surface of the aromatic palette. Note that the Clairin Casimir leaves a very soft imprint on the first step of the tasting. With time, spearmint leaves bring refreshment right on cue to a pleasantly heady (lily, tuberose) air.
Palate : lively, invigorating. Like the nose, the marvellously tangy (lime and candied lemon) attack reveals lots of herbaceous freshness (mint, verbena). On the mid-palate, heady florals (geranium, hyacinth) find the perfect match in citrus fruit and aromatic plants. With an incredibly creamy mouthfeel, the end of the palate steps up the the flavour palettes floral character (rose petal, purple lilac).
Overall : long, smooth. The dessert-like (lemon tart, vanilla flan) start of the finish takes on the soft mouthfeel of the end of the palate. Next, new citrus fruits (kumquat, orange) appear alongside empyreumatic flavours of eucalyptus and cedar. At the very end of the palate, flavours of green mint tea clearly bring to mind a Haitian ti bonm. On the retro-nasal olfaction, heady florals and candied lemon wonderfully punctuate a tasting that showcases meticulous and inspired selection and blending work.
