GUYANA 2004 Small Batch Velier

Nose : Rich and profound. Precisely evoking the caramelized aromas of Tarte Tatin and apricot, the aromatic profile immediately sets the tone for a flavorful and indulgent tasting. With aeration, notes of marmalade and prune fill the olfactory space.

Appearance : cuivre orangé soutenu.

Palate : Full and smooth. Equally delicious, the flavour profile is simultaneously chocolaty, apricot-like, and honeyed (heather, linden). Over time, medicinal notes (balm), smoky empyreumatic hints (varnish), and heady floral touches (tuberose, lily) gradually coat the palate. Pipe tobacco and black licorice also make an appearance.

Overall : Creamy and full-bodied. Revealing roasted mango, flambéed banana, rum baba, and currant notes, the finish flows directly from the nose and palate. More tangy (blood orange), spicy (grated ginger), and saline, the finish and retro-olfaction are remarkably fresh and lively.
