Pale amber/gold colored with high viscosity (20% ABV). The color is specatucualr btw, hard to describe. The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of warm nuts, yeasty dough, preserved lemon, dried plum, brine, Christmas cake and dried orange peel. The palate is slightly off-dry but the acidity is high and the body is full. Dried fruit, warm nuts, yeasty notes and a citrus twist are all present. The high alcohol hits the back of my throat a touch but blows off rather quickly. The finish is medium to long and concentrates on the desiccated fruit and salty yeast notes I got on the opening. This aperitif begs for some olives, charcuterie and warmed almonds. It’s delicious and gets 92 points from me. At $17 for 375ml, it gets 5 stars. Salut….
