Nico's tasting notes
The nose of this red cane is dry and purposeful, with a solid, upright bark that leads the alcohol with firmness. The vegetal, almost earthy side of the fresh cane shows the same seriousness, before a certain spicy roundness makes its appearance.
Aeration brings freshness, and the cane finds itself caught in an almost iodized breeze. Its vegetal side is all the more expressive, and deliciously so.
The palate is surprisingly sweet, with a round, oily, even sticky texture. This is just what's needed to bring deliciousness to the most vegetal, fresh and dry aspects of the cane, which then has plenty of time to unfold its natural, herbaceous aromas.
The finish is lightly coppery and lingers on fine pepper and geranium.
"A cane of character served by a velvety touch...".
