“Beautiful ester potpourri on the nose. Fruits like banana and pear but also clear notes of varnish and glue. Wood as well.Alcoholic attack, quickly strong wood spice and then fruit notes of pineapple and cherries. Then chocolate emerges and as time goes on it becomes bitter and salty.Then rubber, honey and burnt on the finish. Madness, this Hochesterrum is complex and undertakes piece by piece a multi-layered aromatic journey with you.”
