Profile: the concentrated initial nose is floral (iris butter) and spicy. Allowed to breathe, it reveals lots of fruit (passion fruit, fig, melon), coriander and nutmeg. The lively yet creamy attack invites us to bite into juicy fruits, before liquorice stick and root ginger embellish the gustatory palette. The refreshing finish is empyreumatic (pine resin, plant sweets).
