Description Tasting Notes Colour : Coppery orange. Nose : Rich, deep. Tertiary (humus, chestnut, mushrooms), chocolatey, and fruity (blood orange), the aromatic profile evolves with sophistication into spicier (ginger) and grainy (rye) tones. With aeration, peppercorns, Tiger Balm, and ylang-ylang scents add a medicinal and heady dimension. Palate : Lively, intense. Elegantly vanilla-infused and oxidized (apricot, cherry in brandy), the flavor profile gradually becomes more herbal (straw, alfalfa) and more exotic (mango, persimmon). A thin layer of caramel delicately coats the taste buds, and wild strawberries enhance the very end of the palate. Finish : Long, smooth. The tasting continues indulgently with flavors of quince jelly and apricot tart, while grated coconut adds an exotic touch. Both licorice-like, minty, and floral (iris, lily), the aftertaste also reveals other fruits, this time red (raspberry).
