Official tasting notes.
Nose: A gentle and deep ocean of savoury spice on sugar awaits: sandalwood incense, anisette cookies, Lotus Biscoff, sweet cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Sweet grain, kind of like Nutri-Grain, marshmallows and ypovrichio. A medley of walnuts, hazelnut praline and apples moves into bright lemon marmalade, lime musk and old school roses. An earthy, forest soil note is the perfect base for all.
Palate: A sweet, fruity burst turns into a fun and bright lemon sherbet/lemon marmalade pop. Blueberry jam and yellow nectarine come through, with scones and sweet grain proving a lovely foundation. Brown sugar again throughout, as the nose. A full body with brilliant oak integration allows for a slippery and silky texture with no grabbing or hard lines to be found: all elements are as one.
Finish: Ypovrichio again, with apple pie filling. Another burst of fruit, this time with bright cantaloupe and sweet kumquat. A hint of black jellybean or soft licorice, a lot of Monte Carlo biscuits, and then a pop of lime musk and lemon marmalade for a lengthy finish. Silky texture throughout.
