Users find it rich with vegetal, sugarcane, and flowery aromas, followed by a complex palate featuring peppery, woody, and spicy notes enlivened by honey.

    Trial 2: Reminiscent of cognac with mint, pineapple, citrus, green apple and date nut along with lots of wood and pepper. Tends to round thing but here would still be potential upwards I think.

    Aucun plaisir, l’alcool est omniprésent et le tout manque d’équilibre.

    Warm and enveloping nose with notes of vanilla and pastry, roasted hazelnuts and gianduja, a hint of leather, tobacco, wood and some citrus, delicious. Intense and explosive on the palate with roasted hazelnuts/janduja, pepper, mountain herbs/resin/mint, dates, citrus zest, floral and woody with some cognac on the medium-long finish that then leaves a dry/woody/amuffy aftertaste that lingers even after tens of minutes. The abv is excellent and appears to be 15 degrees down. In the empty glass wood, fermented and floral.

    Too hard to get into it, the alcohol taking over, too bad we feel a nice potential but I did not manage to appreciate it.
