- Nose: firm, lively! A great mixture of almond paste, flowers (iris, honeysuckle), citrus (lemon, orange) and salt, it is particularly powerful. It develops with vanilla, new oak, menthol and fresh tobacco notes, Finally, gentian gives it a pleasant bitterness
- Palate: sweet, balanced, spicy (clove, nutmeg), growing in intensity. Praline and nuts (almond, cashew nut) calm the harsh flavours. This gives way to ripe fruit (pear, apple), vanilla and exotic fruit (pineapple, persimmon).
- Finish: long, tender. Languishing on freshly cut grass, star anis and green liquorice. The peat is all but a memory.
