Tasting Notes

Colour : Old gold with coppery reflections.

Nose : Fine, refined. A marvel of balance, the nose is at once apricot-like, mineral, empyreumatic (hydrocarbons), vanilla, exotic (mango), camphorated, roasted (coffee), chocolatey, rooty (ginger), spicy (Cayenne), woody (sandalwood), spiced (cardamom), floral (honeysuckle).

Palate : Both lively and full-bodied. With a delicate touch, the palate replicates almost precisely the mineral, empyreumatic, and spicy character of the nose. The mid-palate, meanwhile, asserts its fruity (apricot, mango), vanilla, and finely woody notes.

Finish : Long, rich. At the outset of the finish, flavors of sugarcane, molasses, and geranium honey soften the palate. Velvety, the aftertaste is marked by notes of salted butter caramel and toffee.
