Serving suggestion: The delicate flavour unfolds best with a teaspoon of water.
Appearance
Polished copper.
Body
Full and soft.
Nose
Not straightforward, yet attractively "natural" and at the right moment full, balanced and very complex. Macerated fruits; pears, plums, cherries. Pineapple notes, gooseberries, the delicate scent of wild roses, menthol and polished leather rise above a foundation of Christmas cake or buttered biscuits. Water opens the whole thing up again without changing the basic aroma.
Palate
The taste is soft and sweet, flattering, yet with a light and lively acidity. The soft, delicate fruity core is surrounded by chocolate notes, with the texture, chocolate and fruit combination creating a cherry liqueur chocolate truffle. Overall warming, Slightly softer with water, although the balance remains just a little lighter.
Finish
Exciting and complex, the finish is long, soft, slightly dry and full of cocoa.
