Appearance: Golden amber, limpid and brilliant. Nose: The nose opens with a rich, balanced expression, dominated by aromas of ripe apple and pear. Hints of caramel, vanilla and sweet spices add depth, complemented by hints of dried fruit and a hint of pastry. Palate: The attack, initially dry and fresh, evolves towards generous flavours of baked apple, caramel and vanilla. The supple, full-bodied texture is enriched by hints of sweet spices, nuts and light tobacco, with a fine balsamic note in the background. The whole remains harmonious despite a slight tension on the palate. The long, fruity finish is a pleasant extension of the pastry and woody aromas. Overall impression: An expressive, harmonious spirit, combining aromatic richness, balance and fine persistence, underpinned by a refined, gourmet character.
