Tasting Notes

Colour : Old gold.

Nose : Rich, ample. Spicy (clove, ginger) and root-like (gentian), the initial nose is also marked by citrus notes (orange, mandarin) and heady flowers (tuberose, broom). Upon aeration, fine oak, incense, and wax aromas ennoble the aromatic palette.

Palate : Dense, sleek. Dynamic (hint of curry), the palate’s entry oscillates between citrus zest (lemon, orange), spices (star anise, turmeric), and flavors of infusions (verbena, lime blossom). The mid-palate then ventures into more vanilla and roasted (mocha) territories.

Finish : Long, silky. With a velvety touch, the start of the finish evokes confectionery (calisson d’Aix, bêtise de Cambrai) followed by freshly pressed sugarcane. In the aftertaste, succulent ganache and toffee flavors mingle with more extroverted notes of tropical flowers (bougainvillea).
