BEENLEIGH 8 ans 2015 Magnum Series #2

Nose : Fresh, subtle. The abundantly fruity aroma palette (banana, pear, Mirabelle plum) also displays incredible balance and fullness. Very fine notes of honey and wax form a deeply smooth profile. With time, vanilla, syrup (cane sugar) and roasted pineapple notes appear.

Appearance : Jaune doré.

Palate : Lively yet generous. The generous flavour palette is just as well-balanced, revealing candied citrus fruit (lemon, grapefruit), white peach and courgette tempura. A sprinkling of sweet spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg) seep into the taste buds.

Overall : Long, silky. The finish is powdery (ginger, rice, semolina) and lingers on beautiful flavours of William’s pear and Golden Delicious apple. These are followed by notes of freshly cut sugarcane. The retro-nasal olfaction is rich and herbaceous (pipe tobacco).
