Tasting Notes

Nose : complex, fresh. Combining lime, vanilla, cut grass and ripe fruit (grape, pear), the initial nose is simply sublime. It is very mineral (chalk) and luminous, and constantly forges ahead. Allowed to breathe, its spicy character gradually gains the upper hand (coriander, clove). Bit by bit, its spices are then erased to make way for medicinal notes (camphor, balm, mustard poultice).

Palate : lively, clear. On the attack, notes of vanilla, cut grass and mustard poultice wonderfully summarize the aromatic palette. For its part, the mid-palate is considerably sweeter (salted butter caramel, toffee) and increases the feeling of vegetal freshness that pervades the taste buds. At the end of the palate, fig, walnut, star anise and grapefruit form an inspired and resolutely future-facing quartet.

Overall : long, serene. A sensation of power unheralded by the palate emanates from the finish. Notes of malted barley, alfalfa and black pepper sketch the contours of a minimalist architecture that wonderfully supports the very end of the palate. On the retronasal olfaction, courgette flowers and bourbon vanilla highlight the gentle bitterness and generosity shown by the flavour palette. The empty glass is spicy (aniseed, clove), creamy (almond) and luscious.
