GUYANA 23 ans 1999 The Wild Parrot New Vibrations Hidden Spirit

Nose : Rich, well-developed. Tropical (pineapple, banana), fibrous (sugar cane) and spicy (ginger, clove), the first nose is also medicinal (ointment) and camphoric. Allowed to breathe, aromas of beeswax and white florals (lily of the valley, lily) appear alongside notes of rubber and vetiver.

Appearance : Jaune doré soutenu.

Palate : Lively yet smooth. On the attack, citrus fruit zest (lime, grapefruit), grated ginger and fresh cane sugar seep deep into the taste buds. The vegetal mid-palate plunges us into the cane harvesting period. Cane flower perfumes fill the air.

Overall : Long, well-balanced. Behind a very pleasant salinity, the finish first allows a glimpse of delicate vanilla, herbal and exotic (pineapple, kaffir lime) flavours. The creamy after-taste returns to liquorice and bitter tones (cinchona, gentian).
