DESCRIPTION
TASTING NOTES
Nose : fine, complex. The dried fruits (apricot, almond) are coated in a noble liqueur (coffee, grapes). It evolves into chocolate, spices (cloves) and undergrowth notes.
Appearance : old gold with amber highlights.
Mouth : tannic, heady, it reveals itself to be spicy (pepper, ginger) and fruity (mango, passion fruit). It grows on citrus fruits (lemon) and flowers (iris, pepper rose).
Finish : long, smooth, it evokes a very ripe, juicy mango. It lingers on coriander, red fruits (raspberry, blueberry) and incense.
