Description
The deep amber hue in the glass is punctuated by brilliant orange reflections. This visual depth translates through to the bouquet: honey, saffron perhaps even a hint of stock. A beautiful play of salinity and minerality. As this opens up in the glass the play of flavours expands, bitter orange contrasts with burnt sugar. Intensity exemplified. Add in some more spices for good measure and this truly is a nectar of the gods.
