There's just a hint of oak here, but it's beautifully interwoven into the ripe mirabelle fruit and sweet chamomile. Enormous concentration and power with toasty and dried-fruit flavors, but this is anything but a monster. Rather, the finish is bright and uplifting, in spite of 14% alcohol.
Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine tobacco nuances, a touch of white stone fruit, delicate hints of pears and meadow herbs, candied orange zest. Powerful, substantial, fine fruit sweetness, a touch of marzipan, citrus nuances on the finish, salty aftertaste, great length, enormous future, certain ageing potential.
