DICTADOR 20 ans Sans Etui

Nose : stimulating, heady. Notes of coffee are present in two different forms, one grilled and roasted and the other as a dessert, an éclair. Develops into dried fruit (almond and walnut), a few exotic fruits (guava, lichee and kaffir lime) and a few spices.

Palate : smooth, silky. Brings back precise notes of toasted, crunchy coffee beans. This is covered in a layer of vanilla and acacia honey. Vegetal (cut hay) and delicately woody (oak and polish), it becomes increasingly fruity (orange, pear, peach and apricot).

Overall : long, rugged. Its floral perfumes are surprisingly long. These are backed up by grated ginger and citrus fruit zest. Then a cloud of ash settles on candied fruit (peach and grape). It lingers on to nutmeg, lime blossom and pine resin.
