Appearance: Bright, clear gold. Nose: The bouquet reveals aromas of vanilla and coconut, accompanied by notes of molasses, sweet spices and discreet vegetal touches. Palate: The attack is smooth and balanced, developing an interesting complexity with flavours of stewed fruit, cocoa and dried herbs. The unctuous texture reveals an elegant woody presence, although the tannins can sometimes be a little dry. The long but contrasting finish oscillates between pleasant sweetness and more marked firmness. Overall impression: A well-structured spirit with a seductive aromatic palette, despite some imbalances on the finish.
