Slightly loose cork. Medium amber. Medium nose of burnt sugar, candy corn, vanillin, petrol, hay, floral note (more chamomile than elderflower). Sweet but not cloying palate offering crème brûlée, orange peel, vanilla, with a long finish with an oily marcona almond note. Quite nice and deeply enjoyable, if not extraordinary nor offering tons of complexity.

What Ledocq said! Beautiful, soft, perfumery cigar box nose. Savory on the palate with extremely soft tannins, terrific length and finesse. Maybe we got lucky with this bottle but showing remarkably for its age.
