Tasting note
- Appearance : colourless.
- Nose : full-bodied, complex. A broad expression of apricot in a variety of forms: ripe fruit, jam, apricot tart. The quality of the fruit is quite exceptional. Mineral (lava, manganese), it evokes embers. Punctuated with sweet spices, it is tempered by apricot coulis, exotic fruit (mango, guava) and green liquorice.
- Palate : firm and yet soft, beneath the coated tannins, it is like biting into a fresh apricot. Herbaceous, a fresh, luxurious nature is revealed. The mid-palate is floral (peonies, freesias) and slightly earthy. Delicate persistence with notes of saffron and black liquorice. There is also a lingering presence of fruit (apricot, nectarine).
- Overall : long, rugged. Sublime flavours of ripe apricots return, nonetheless leaving room for a flirtation with some citrus notes (bergamot, lime). Forged in the hardest steel, its minerality does not disappoint. It becomes increasingly concentrated. Retro-olfaction evokes fruit yoghurt (apricot of course, but also strawberry and redcurrant).
