Tasting Notes
Profile : Warm and balanced. Chocolate, figs and pepper.
Nose : Rich and well-balanced. Initially malty, the first nose reveals scents of milk chocolate and orange. Then come two successive veils: the first is empyreumatic and the second spicy.
Palate : Clear and subtle. The attack is marked by a to-and-fro between malty and woody flavours. With great skill, figs, cherries and dark chocolate take over the mid-palate. The aeration is very fresh and expressive.
Finish : Delicate and warm. Notes of coffee and chocolate give a powdery mouthfeel at the start of the finish. This is followed by a gourmet finish. Finally, on the aftertaste, notes of malted barley echo the start of the tasting.
