Jasper Morris: Browning color, with a deposit, but still bright though. Smells more like a liqueur with a touch of Marc de Bourgogne, along with a trace of sweetness. Then becomes meatier, perhaps flowers in alcohol, hawthorn and orange. There is still good fruit in the mouth, more than expected from the nose, and now orange flavors dominate. The finish feels dry at first but in fact it softens with time. Fascinating to try but more as a curiosity. I imagine there would have been quite some variation between bottles.
