Very nice fresh fruity nose. Coconut, exotic fruits, mango and a touch of mint.
In the palate, a great freshness too. A micx of cashew nut and citrus fruit. A real firework of fragrances. Nice complexity, nice pleasant fresh fruity notes.
A finish of medium length where some memories of the coconut of the nose remain amongst other ones.
2009An amazing nose, a mix of fruits (pears) and fresh hay (or dry grass). Lots of characterm and a nice developing over the time. Gradually new nuances appear. Hints of bee wax followed by a kind of menthol freshness. Some smoke and floral hints complete this more than pleasant nose.
In the palate, a nice complex acidity, hints of gentian and nice presence of alcohol. Amazingly this alcohol structures the whole instead of dominating on an unpleasant manner, as it is too often the case. The acidity is nicely mixed with a kind of perfumed bitterness (which I guess may be compared the best with gentian).
Finish is rather long and warm, still with this amazing mix of bitterness and acidity. An unusual acidity (no citrus impression) and an even more unusual bitterness (no real woody impression)> What a nice bottle. Amazing and very pleasant.
