Refinement in the bottle for a minimum period of 4 months before release.
Organoleptic characteristics: On the nose, Hekate offers a myriad of sensations ranging from the initial notes of flowers such as jasmine to the tropical aroma with very delicate notes of mango and papaya. In the mouth it is sweet, intense, complex but at the same time very balanced, harmonious and elegant. The finish is persistent with fruity and balsamic sensations.
