tasting note
 
Deep yellow straw color. The nose is powerful with develpoed   aromas of stewed fruits, white peach mixed with orange, and apricot. In mouth, the attack is fresh giving way to the voluminous very rich liqueur but stays light and spicey. The finish stays on the same spice leaving a long reminder of the middle of pallette .
