Description
refined, smooth. On the first nose, a refined honey liqueur underscoring the Tokay’s influence and notes of juicy apple are separated by a path peppered with mustard grain and aromas of aged cider. Allowed to breathe, florals (gillyflower, camelia), precious wood and white mint accentuate the heady character. Next, spices (ginger, cinnamon), vanilla and coffee bring lots of harmony and tone to the aromatic palette.
full-bodied, concentrated. At once herbaceous (moss), resinous (pine) and medicinal (cough sweets), the attack reveals freshly cut slices of apple. On the mid-palate, nuts (walnut, almond) rival notes of flowering geranium and lime blossom in intensity. With time, cocoa powder, bourbon vanilla and delicious apple jelly flavours are allowed complete freedom of expression on the extremely generous (apple turnover) end of the palate.
long, silky. With a freshness that evokes abundant notes of sweet pastry (Normandy apple tart, clafoutis), the start of the finish also reveals mint tea flavours. Soon after, the Tokay once again leaves its mark on the silky and lightly tannic end of the palate. The very sunny retro-nasal olfaction reveals notes of gentian root, ginger and candied apple. The empty glass is vegetal (pipe tobacco), heady (iris butter) and praline.
