Tasting Notes
Colour
orangey amber
air Nose
a lovely little fruity gem, straightforward and uncomplicated, on mirabelles, liquorice, quince and honey. It’s absolutely precise. With water: mirabelle liqueur, apricot liqueur, quince liqueur, pine liqueur—amen
restaurant Palate
I don’t quite know why they called this ‘ma cerise’ (my cherry), though I do indeed find hints of kirsch and Calvados here, with a clear ‘bouilleur de cru’ character. We’re miles away from the high-volume, big-brand style. With water: the florals and spices burst wide open—borage, fennel, liquorice, caraway, chamomile, poppy, little lemons, all manner of citrus zests… Boom, that’s three more points right there
timer Finish
medium length, with a slight herbal liqueur touch—chartreuse, verbena, genepy… Leaves the palate feeling perfectly fresh
