Let's Taste It : 

The nose is of course intense, very fruity. A bit of iodine, though. Always this fruit basket, with pineapple, coconut, banana, mango, and various red fruits, raspberries, blackcurrants, blackberries. Pears, apples, apricots, all sprinkled with almonds. There are also a few rocky fragrances. On the palate, the fruits are still there, with spices, but also toasted vanilla, chestnuts, cashew nuts. Ripe plums. A lovely, very powerful finish of orchard fruits, greengages, mirabelles. A whirlwind of fruits.

 

In Short, 

Yes, it's quite beautiful in fact, quite impressive. It's rare to have something so fruity. But then again, the price is too high to be worth buying in my humble opinion.

Score : 87
