Tasting notes

The colour is light amber.
On the nose

After a rather spicy entrance on notes of cloves, nutmeg and white pepper, we are greeted by an ensemble of wildflower honey, milk chocolate, nougat and nuts (walnuts and almonds), with just a touch of sultanas. A hint of apricot seems to prelude a fruity turn that doesn’t show up. Instead, a turn into dry biscuit territory arrives, with an impression of vanilla in the background.
On the palate

The overall profile fluctuates between sweet and fruity, with hints of wildflower honey, nougat, apricot and peach in syrup, with significant incursions of nuts, grapefruit zest and yellow orange juice, and a nice dash of pepper.
The finish

Of medium-long persistence, is still very peppery, with a hint of nougat.
