Appearance: A perfectly clear, coppery amber colour. Nose: The bouquet reveals a fine aromatic complexity, combining cereal and sourdough notes with woody scents, enhanced by hints of caramel, honey and candied fruit. Palate: The attack is frank and expressive, revealing a well-balanced structure combining flavours of leather, cooked fruit and dark chocolate. The enveloping texture accompanies a harmonious evolution towards notes of vanilla and dried fruit. The finish lingers long on aromas of candied orange and walnut, though marked by a slight sulphurous note. Overall impression: A spirit of character, with an assertive identity and beautiful aromatic intensity, despite a few minor imperfections.
