Tasting Notes

Colour : Coppery orange.

Nose : Rich, profound. Extremely complex, the aromatic palette reveals notes of dried apricot, varnish, wax, bandage, mustard seed, licorice, dark chocolate, cardamom, honeysuckle, freesia, iris, roasted mango, melon, roasted nuts, quince, pipe tobacco, patchouli…

Palate : Both lively and slender. Pyrotechnic (fuel, incense), milky (coconut), liqueur-like (raisins), floral (geranium, hyacinth), the mouthfeel gradually gets covered by a fine layer of salted butter caramel. Medicinal (mustard plaster, arnica), the mid-palate is oxidative (brandy-soaked cherries, candied ginger).

Finish : Long, heady. Intimately linked to the palate, the start of the finish evokes the lushness of a tropical landscape. Flavors of decomposing damp wood and chocolatey Havana in combustion permeate a contemplative and mystical aftertaste (incense, candle).
