Perfumy. Floral. Carnation. Rose petals. Turkish delight. Hint of white chocolate. delicate and elegant. In time, toasted pistachios.
Palate
Silky, gently flowing. Then becoming crisp like Thai silk. More Turkish delight. Poached pears. A festoon of spices tease the tongue. Water brings out sweetness.
Finish
Dry, lingering. spicy.
Comment
Elegant, intricate and enticing. Mozart with the depth of Beethoven and the
agile touch of Liszt?
