Florian's tasting notes
The color is golden. Tears are thick, few and slow.
On the nose, it's spicy and woody, subtly fruity (pear can be distinguished). A hint of raisins and cocoa. Simple and straightforward.
On the palate, the attack is soft, with the fruit and roundness of cake dough, caramel, raisin and sweet licorice.
The moderately long finish reveals aniseed licorice.
"Well made and balanced. Easily accessible thanks to its roundness... "
