Nose:Ample, elegant. Exotic (banana, pineapple), candied (pear, apple), mentholated, creamy (flan), and lemony, the aromatic palette is remarkably full-bodied. With aeration, white flowers (lily, lilac, lily of the valley) and green olives claim the olfactory space while new fruits appear (mirabelle, greengage).
Palate:Dense, lofty. Honeyed (acacia, lime), the flavor profile follows perfectly from the nose. Then, finely chocolatey, it gradually becomes tenderly spiced (cinnamon, candied ginger), herbaceous (blonde tobacco), and infused (chamomile).
Finish:Long, full-bodied. Evoking a field of barley in spring, the tasting now takes on more bucolic tones (dandelion, daisy). Remarkable in presence, it lingers with increasingly camphorated and herbaceous flavors (chlorophyll).
