Tasting Notes

Colour : Topaz

Nose : Rich, complex. Stunningly beautiful, the first nose, marked by citrus (bitter orange, clementine), also reveals medicinal (balm), honeyed (acacia), spicy (Espelette pepper), syrupy (molasses), nobly spiced (saffron, cardamom), tropical (bougainvillea, anthurium), and vanilla. With aeration, the aromatic palette becomes increasingly elegant (rose petal, mango, vetiver, sugar cane flower), and tertiary (beeswax, gouache, paneling).

Palate : Elegant, slender. Airy, the mouthfeel combines with exquisite refinement notes of ripe banana, warm sugarcane, jasmine flowers, and bourbon vanilla. Delightfully licorice and fruity (apricot, mandarin), the mid-palate also reveals notes of aged wood of great nobility of expression. Then, gradually, cocoa powder and grated ginger tactfully settle on the palate.

Finish : Long, stately. Smoky (cedar, asphalt, incense), the start of the finish smoothly transitions to particularly suave toffee and sugarcane honey notes. In the aftertaste, medicinal tones (balm, mustard plaster) act as an ointment, spreading over the palate walls. The retro olfaction is incomparably gentle (artichoke heart, fresh walnut). Autumnal, the empty glass reveals aromas of mushrooms, moss, and chestnut.
