Tasting Notes
A lifted note of vivid candied lemon is immediate on the nose. The palate is smooth and as textured as every iteration since, as rich, but there is a new line of freshness, still with a tropical lift and a hint of pineapple. The fruit is exquisite and the richness here is absolutely disciplined, the stuffing is immense, so is the power, yet the silhouette is svelte. A wonderfully delicious and enticing contradiction, the freshness makes you want more and more. The length is exquisite.
