TASTING NOTES

Colour: Gold with green highlights.
Nose: It expresses aromas borrowed from iris and honeysuckle with a clear, lively and powerful character. Raised by candied citrus fruits such as orange and lemon, it is powerful with its hint of peat with a light and pleasant bitterness. It then evolves on vanilla, new oak and menthol notes.
Palate: Sweet and balanced at the beginning with spices (cloves, nutmeg) and hints of dried fruits, it evolves on ripe fruits (pear, apple), vanilla and exotic fruits (pineapple, persimmon). Its ardor is balanced by praline touches and dried fruits (almond, cashew nuts).
Finish: Long and tender, it is marked by vegetal and fresh notes, as well as by green licorice. Gourmet, it continues on mocha, acacia honey and spearmint. Its saline character is gradually gaining momentum.
