Tasting notes：

Nose: Ample, elegant. Scents of beeswax, candied orange, roasted walnut, vanilla bean, and musk form an initial, extremely deep and complex aromatic profile. With aeration, a thin layer of salted caramel, bay leaf infusion, and Sichuan pepper gradually take over the olfactory space.

Palate: Rich and silky. Infused with verbena and chamomile, the flavor profile is also elegantly spiced (saffron, cardamom), herbaceous (green tea), and stewed. Gradually, honeyed (lavender) and fruity (pineapple, banana) flavors lend it remarkable smoothness and balance. Over time, a cocoa powder spreads across the palate.

Finish: Long, stately. With a velvety texture (peach skin, currant), it evolves towards subtly chocolatey, powdery, and spicy notes (ginger, clove, cinnamon). Echoing the beeswax notes of the initial nose, the retro-nasal aroma returns with elegance to malty and saffron territory. Equally refined, the empty glass is waxy.
