Tasting notes

Appearance: Crystalline, clear and luminous. Nose: The aromas focus on fresh citrus fruit, with dominant notes of lemon, citron and orange peel, accompanied by delicate floral touches and a minty freshness. Palate: The attack reveals a marked liveliness where the alcohol comes through before giving way to flavours of candied citrus fruit and zest. The texture, weighed down by essential oils, carries notes of peel jam which evolve into hints of pear and white flowers. The well-integrated finish maintains the length of the cooked citrus fruit despite the aggressive nature of the essences. Overall impression: A spirit that faithfully expresses its citrus profile with complexity, but suffers from an imbalance on the palate that detracts from the overall harmony.
