TASTING NOTES
Jenssen tasting notes and review: "A naturally dark, amber colour sets the tone:Masculine notes of cigar-box, leather and walnut lead the way, well balanced against scents of marzipan, anis, orange and dried apricot. Lime-blossom, violet and dried rose create a pleasant overtone. On the palate, characteristics go from ripe fruits like peach and apricot with points of orange to figs and prunes. Beneath a veil of melted oak, the tongue is teased by nutmeg, vanilla and almonds. A long, complex aftertaste lingers on, and swirls of ripe grapes bring forth memories from the amber liquid’s remote youth."
