Taste note
-
Colour:
Gold with polished copper lights
-
Nose:
The first glorious citrus sweetness of fresh oranges develops into soft mango. Maritime air with seaweed, driftwood, and salt continue under.
-
Palate:
Soft and sweet at first, coating and tongue tingling, with light smoke. Quickly becomes more pungent and savoury with a hot spiciness.
-
Finish:
Drier and of medium-length, with a lasting, smooth aftertaste, in which light peaty burnt embers can be found.
