Colour: golden yellow.

Nose: fresh yet heady. The fruity (pineapple, banana) and oxidative (warm honey, macerated fruit) first nose reveals remarkable depth of vision. Allowed to breathe, heady fragrances of vetiver, flowering geranium and candied ginger flood the air. Gradually, notes of tar and arnica take over.

Palate: rich, full-bodied. Very unlike the nose, the attack is at first milky (coconut) and vanilla (pod, flan). This is followed by a beautiful vegetal sequence (sugar cane, liquorice stick). On the mid-palate, notes of wax and white mint provide a fresh and unctuous transition. The end of the palate is gently praline, spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg) and slightly camphoric.

Finish: long, taut. The very herbaceous (bay leaf, lime blossom), honeyed (lavender), heady (geranium, tuberose) and peppery finish gradually develops more exotic tones (pineapple, banana). At the end of the finish, flavours of sugar cane and vanilla harmonise delicately. The retro-nasal olfaction is then vanilla and empyreumatic (rubber, tar). The very rich and intense empty glass is almost identical to the first nose.
