RÉUNION 6 ans 2016 The Wild Parrot New Vibrations Hidden Spirit

Nose : Expressive, lively. The oxidative first nose (royal jelly, grilled walnut, sous-voile wine) is like a magnificent and venerable Jura vin jaune that has developed aromas of curry and dried flowers. Allowed to breathe, subtle fragrances of artichoke heart appear alongside notes of Pays d’Auge cider.

Appearance : Jaune doré topaze.

Palate : Refined, distinguished. Raisin notes make the start of the finish evocative of a Jura vin de paille. On the mid-palate, toffee and candied ginger flavours play host to cane sugar and slices of spice bread.

Overall : Tangy, invigorating. The exotic start of the finish (mango, guava) is refreshed with lime zests. The end of the palate is coated in notes of pipe tobacco and tar. The end of the finish is then deliciously floral (geranium honey, iris butter) and rooty (gentian).
