AGEING : This Pineau is aged in French oak barrels for a minimum of 60 months.

EYE/ VISUAL/COLOUR

Appearance is deep and intense, but also exquisitely delicate (hence its name). Glints of light gold that sparkle and illuminate.

NOSE/ OLFACTORY

Head notes: Lineage: fruity. A delicate approach reminiscent of small stone fruits such as Mirabelle plums, without becoming overly exuberant or demonstrative.

Heart notes: Family: emypreumatic. Instantaneous and charismatic, the intentionally unusual approach innovates by introducing subtle notes of smoked bark.

Base notes: Dominant notes: energising herbs. The sustained presence of notes of peppery vervain and candied ginger is an essential part of the finish.

PALATE/ GUSTATORY

A round attack followed by an impressively wide range.
The most impressive aspect of this Pineau is that its multifaceted salivary energy has been preserved despite being aged in a wooden cask for 60 months. The wood does not come through in the flavour; it merely contributes to the overall sensorial structure.
