Original Tasting Notes

Appearance: vibrant gold.
Nose: full-bodied, pulpy. The very original initial nose is characterized by notes of agave and brioche. Slightly earthy, it allows glimpses of juicy pear, beeswax and candied lemon once allowed to breathe. Warm, it gradually becomes increasingly spicy (pepper, nutmeg), aniseedy and honeyed (acacia). A delicious note of milk chocolate suddenly appears.
Palate: lively, elegant. Ripe fruits (Mirabelle plum, plum, yellow peach) bring lots of freshness and creaminess to the attack. The mid-palate is enveloped by precious honeys (heather, lavender) before noble spices (cinnamon, ginger) take over. These are accompanied by notes of latte and spice bread.
Overall: long, silky. The rich finish invites us to enjoy a delicious custard tart. A handful of heady florals (peony, white lilac) and strong spices (clove, star anise) bring energy to the end of the palate. On the retro-nasal olfaction, fresh walnuts and dates cover the palate in their thick tannins. The empty glass reveals cane sugar, agave honey and Bordeaux cannelés.
