Beautiful mahogany color with warm copper reflections.

On the nose: supple, complex and evolving with subtle notes of candied fruits such as plum d'Ente or Crete apricot, leather, musk mixed with the scents of cedar cigar boxes from Lebanon typical of old Grande Champagne with a very long finish, proof of its very long aging.

The palate is round, mellow, rich, gourmet and its exceptional length, the flavors merging with subtlety and complexity.

A rare, limited edition, presented in a numbered decanter with a sumptuous box.
