Toast, butter, cream, minerals (graphite), and spices such as anise and cardamom.
The palate is precise and pure, with a vibrant core of pear, white peach, and lemon custard, followed by minerality, fine acidity, and a harmonious, long finish with notes of black tea, talcum powder, and chalk.
Aged in 100% new French oak barrels for approximately 10-11 months, regular stirring enhances texture and depth, imparting delicate layers of cream and toasted nuts.
