Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

it is not a very waxy one indeed, as it appears, we're rather reminded of dough, breads, apple pies, grist, or cider, although I do find touches of paraffin, but that may be my mind trying to find what it knows should be there. Any taster's worst enemy. With water: some waxy bread indeed, sunflower oil, quince jelly…

restaurant Palate

a little icing sugar and orange blossom honey, then reaching panettone and pear tart, citron liqueur, and yes, perhaps, there, a little candlewax with a wee soapy side. Or are those just fresh almonds? Not too sure… With water: more bitter grasses and zests, grapefruit skin, a little bell pepper, sloe, juniper… What's sure is that it is not a wax monster. Not that we always need them anyway…

timer Finish

long and, guess what, much more on paraffin, candlewax, and proper argan oil… ! All things come to him who waits
