NOSE
Notes of orange peel, pastry, honey
nuances, and toasted notes are perceptible
on the nose.
PALATE
The palate is soft and round. The
orange peel is confirmed, enriched
by toasted wood.
FINISH
The finish is short. Toasted wood
and hints of yellow fruit.
Harmonious but it develops a contained
flavor profile.

together with menthol and honeydew
honey. Wood resin.

by wood resin and a honeyed
undertone.
FINISH

Contained intensity and flavor profile,
which is not very incisive.

and vegetal notes.
