- Nose
- Pleasant aroma with notes of ginger, pepper, dry leaves, treacle tart, palmiers, orange peel, and fresh light green fruits. Mineral notes, stewed apple, mint, cumin, fennel, and a hint of peat smoke are also present, alongside old leather, glazed sugar, ripe persimmon, juicy mango, orange pulp, nut chocolate, and ripe melon. Rich and fruity with dates, rum-raisin, plums, dark spiced chocolate, bovril, and a touch of chili.
- Palate
- A soft initial arrival with a peppery kick. Flavors of poached peach, ripe melon, sharp bitterness, and umami notes of dairy. Herbal overtones blend with smoke-infused black tea and the numbing sensation of Szechuan pepper. Orange peel, cinnamon, palmiers, ginger, pepper, vanilla, icing sugar, and subtle dry leaves, with a creamy texture. Ripe fruit and floral notes emerge after aeration.
- Finish
- Long and warming, with spices like palmiers, ginger, cinnamon, and pepper. Sweetness, pastry, orange peel, and a non-offensive grain. Little vanilla, autumn leaves, and a fresh feeling. Moderately short to medium in length, with a drying effect and lingering herbal nuances, and a faint echo of ripe orange and lightly charred wood.
