Tasting notes
The perfume grabs you with its blend of tobacco, forest leaf, cedar, dried flowers, and bright red berries. The palate is soft, silky, vibrant, lifted, and packed with sea salt, dried cherries, herbs, and spices. Fully mature, there is no reason to wait to pop a cork, so if you are lucky to have a bottle, open it, and enjoy. Drink from 2026-2029.

Dark ruby – really quite an intense colour. Nervy sweet nose – more obviously fruity and interesting than the ‘Bécot’ version. Sweet and rich with just the tiniest hint of age but really together and powerful. Clean and long. Some power and some delicacy. Lots of tannin and concentration. Great stuff! (JR)
