Tasting notes：

Nose: what a brilliant nose
dark and heavy
a cooked compote of plums and cherries
Oranges, sliced, splashes of juice from the flesh and the essential oil of the shell hit your face
next to it nuts and almonds are dusted with cocoa
an old piece of wood, swollen by the salty seawater
gently a touch of fresh mashed mint blows around your nose.

Palate: the journey starts from the beginning gentle and elegant
the freshness and sweetness of the orange as well as the fruitiness of the cherries,
Sea water, ancient wood,
everything is there at the same time.
it can be guessed that there must have been a campfire there a long time ago; only scanty remains, but still, there was one
your tongue vibrates with passion
you give yourself completely to her
everything around you moves into the distance
only here and now, only this moment is important.

Finish: the impression remains long,
only slowly does the memory fade into the distance.
