Tasting Notes

Colour : Orange copper.

Nose : Rich, heady. Subtly empyreumatic and oxidative (cherry in brandy), the nose is fruity (orange) and liqueur-like (warm cane sugar). Upon aeration, it becomes nobler with aromas of beeswax, acacia honey, and sandalwood.

Palate : Clear, vibrant. Deliciously jammy (apricot), the mouthfeel starts with a saffron note. Exotic (banana, guava), the mid-palate becomes increasingly powdery (cocoa) and spicy (ginger, cinnamon). The finish reveals floral (iris, violet) and mineral (slate) qualities.

Finish : Long, lively. Juicy and pulpy (apricot coulis, quince jelly), the start of the finish closely approaches sugar cane. With a lovely fresh and herbal bitterness, the aftertaste is marked by superb notes of vanilla pods and green licorice.
