Nose
Refined, complex. Powdery (rice), mentholated, and resinous, the aromatic palette shines with elegance. At its peak, it releases captivating scents of candied lemon, almond milk, walnut, vanilla, yellow flowers, and verbena.
Palate
Clean, lively. Initially juicy (grape, pear) and mouthwatering, the flavor profile is supported by a pleasant herbal and citrusy acidity. Radiating maturity, it develops into flavors of dried fruits (fig, date, currant).
Finish
Long, soft. Delicately tannic, the start of the finish is tenderly chocolaty. Radiant, it becomes increasingly heady (orris concrete), honeyed, and vanilla-flavored. The aftertaste is nobly spiced (cardamom, ginger).
