Description
Tasting note: "Impeccable purity to the brilliant topaz colour. A superb perfume opens with aromas of rose petal / orange blossom, building with deeper, fruitier scents of figs, pear tart, dates over drier notes of cigar box, new leather and further air contact adding shades of dried banana, orange zest and cinnamon. Just fabulous. Starts off linear, dry. The middle stages are unexpectedly full bodied, vibrant, warming, mouthfilling. A luscious burst of dried fig, stone fruit, orange zest and prune stains the tongue. Driving sandalwood, pepper, almond butter and saffron push the palate length to the max. Doesn’t let up in the final stages as this fades resiny, oaky yet poised with black pepper, vanilla bean and dried fig. A final wisp of passion fruit seals the deal, showing the kind of élan you’d expect from a cognac heavyweight. One of our all-time favourites, regardless of classification or price. 40% Alc./Vol."
