Almost radiant on the nose: a mixture of redcurrant, caramel toffee and orange peel, with some wax, malt, and chocolate truffles. It's very firm on the palate with a tight, almost dry structure, yet nonetheless sweet and fruit-driven. Not exuberantly creamy, but instead focused on nerve and substance. The overall impression is immensely tactile-mineral.
More about the tastingThe colour has greenish reflexes on the edge brightening. On the nose almost radiant: redcurrant, caramel toffee, orange peel, some wax, malt, chocolate truffle. Very firm on the palate, a taut, almost dry structure, yet also sweet and fruit-driven, not exuberantly creamy, but pithy with nerve and substance, immensely tactile-mineral, juicy and savoury on the finish. For David Guimaraens, this tawny is the ideal companion to foie gras.
