Tasting commentary
The first nose reveals a broad aromatic expression. As it evolves, citrus fruits quickly give way to yellow fruits, plums, and juicy fruits, oranges, before finishing on fruit jellies and hints of pastry and honey. The freshness of verbena, lemon and fine spices lingers for a long time.   The palate is immediately juicy and fresh. Power and concentration quickly bring enormous volume, surprisingly seductive in its great elegance, purity and freshness. All the flavors, a veritable basket of fruit, confirm the aromas on the nose. A perfect balance: the richness of the liqueur does not mask the “race”, the energy of Fargues. In the tradition of the richest and greatest vintages: 2005 - 2009 - 2015
