Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Light in aroma, with nougat, pistachio halvah, fresh lilies, and the chalkiness of general store candy. Flavor and mouthfeel are also subtle, sometimes too much so … a bit more amplitude would go a long way.
Intense and sweet, indulgent style with a fruity note of apricot and some hints of liquorice backed with fruity, spicy wood. Cherry note are there along with some dark plum and spice apple notes.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
