Nose : Refined, elegant. A marvel of balance, the nose is simultaneously apricot, mineral, empyreumatic (hydrocarbons), vanilla, exotic (mango), camphoraceous, roasted (coffee), chocolatey, earthy (ginger), peppery (cayenne), woody (sandalwood), spicy (cardamom), floral (honeysuckle)...

Appearance : Old gold with copper highlights.

Palate : Both lively and full-bodied. With a delicate touch, the attack on the palate echoes the mineral, smoky, and spicy character of the nose. The mid-palate, meanwhile, asserts its fruity (apricot, mango), vanilla, and subtly woody notes.

Finish : Long and rich. At the start of the finish, flavors of cane sugar, molasses, and geranium honey soften the palate. Smooth and creamy, the aftertaste is marked by notes of salted caramel and toffee.
