Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Fruity aromas of banana and green apple, accompanied by yeast notes, shortbread cookies, vanilla glaze, and a hint of candle wax. A drop of water enhances herbal notes like oregano and basil as well as light rubber aromas.
• Palate: Oily body with flavors of tropical fruits, stone fruits, coconut, earthy notes, and dried grass. The taste is dry with some industrial undertones.
• Finish: Long-lasting with drying, ashy notes, coconut shells, and a bit of dust. Later, aromas of apple strudel and stone fruits emerge. A drop of water intensifies the flavors and makes the finish stronger.
