Appearance - clear, clean, olive oil hue. No sediment.
Louche - attractive with a nice build. Yellows and greens. Opaque but not quite opalescent.
Aroma - baby powder, juicy fruit, cinnamon. Flowery with bright anise and genepi.
Flavor - Intense and spicy at 3:1! Anise, cinnamon, calamus. Lots going on here.
Finish - clean and slightly astringent. A bit hot at 3:1. 3.5:1 works a lot better.
Overall - a very traditional herbal profile. Brings me to a cafe on a quiet French street during the Belle Epoque. Very enjoyable!
