Official tasting note for reference:

Appearance:
Copper.

Nose:
Fine, racy. With a magnificent solar plenitude, the first nose oscillates between candied apricots, dark chocolate, incense, leather, nectarine and spices (curry, cardamom).

Taste:
Rich, powerful. Overflowing with dynamism, the attack on the palate faithfully takes up the medicinal and camphor register of the nose by adding absolutely delicious flavors of absinthe.

Finish:
Long, racy. Just as powdery and spicy, the attack on the palate gives the sensation of chewing a stick of liquorice.
