Tasting Notes

Colour : Deep golden yellow.

Nose : Rich, deep. The medicinal (tiger balm, mustard poultice), vanilla, floral (vetiver, tuberose, iris) and camphoric first nose is impudent, lively and fresh. Allowed to breathe, fragrances of peppermint, chilli (Cayenne pepper) and candied lemon confirm the aroma palette’s heady character. Little by little, fragrances of walnut and white fruit (pear, Mirabelle plum) attempt to soften the fiery temperament of the first act in the tasting.

Palate : Clean, lively. In turn dynamic, the attack begins first by handing over to pressed citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), aromatic plants (tarragon, savoury, oregano) and white fruits (pear, peach). At times evoking an absinthe, the mid-palate is herbaceous (lucerne, flax) and hot. The expressive end of the palate takes us into the heart of a sun-warmed field of canes.

Finish : Long, powerful. At the start of the finish, notes of crisp and juicy pear are placed at the peak of the flavour palette. In unison, the end of the finish places a basketful of pears onto a bed of sugar cane. The delicately spicy (cinnamon) and chocolate retro-nasal olfaction shows a remarkable sweet and savoury balance. The empty glass shows liquorice, herbaceous notes (green tea), vanilla and lemon.
