Nose : Refined, distinguished. The balsamic (lime blossom, pine, thuja), exotic (guava, mango) and floral (hawthorn) first nose is especially deep. Allowed to breathe, apricot, orange and melon appear alongside noble spices (cardamom, ginger) and more tertiary fragrances (porcini mushroom, moss). Red and black fruits (strawberry, bramble) then arrive in a climax.

Appearance : Cuivre orangé.

Palate : Lively and elegant. Continuing the tasting, the start of the finish is incredibly mature (date,finish, toffee). Coconut, quince jelly and pressed orange flavours then refresh the flavour palette.

Overall : Long, well-rounded. The tenderly spicy (nutmeg, cinnamon) start of the finish is oxidative (brandied cherry) and floral (wilted rose,petunia). In the after-taste, more resinous (pine) and honeyed (lavender, heather) flavours develop together. The very end of the finish is powdery (cocoa) and nobly wood (floating dust).
