The note presents as a potent, fiery spirit, initially sharp and almost solvent-like, with an immediate alcoholic effervescence that pricks the nose. Beneath this initial warmth, a distinct fruitiness emerges, reminiscent of sun-drenched grape skins and fermented pomace – sometimes verdant and slightly bitter, other times possessing a subtle, dried-fruit sweetness. It carries an earthy, vinous depth, often with a hint of pepper or spice that adds to its invigorating character. Its texture is almost liquid-warm, conveying a rich, viscous mouthfeel even though it's an olfactive experience. As a top-to-heart note, it offers a significant initial projection, a bold declaration that then mellows into a warmer, more integrated nuance, often lasting for several hours as its boozy warmth intertwines with other elements.
