I have met with Francois in person during the fondue party, little talk and he was coming back to me with a bottle of his stuff so that I could have a taste and tell him my opinion.
Colour typical, but nothing to whine about, louche perfect, nice layering, aroma really nuanceful, instead of the typical anisette aroma we have come across in most of les bleues in Boveresse, that one packs a superb fennel, discrete anise and powerful wormwoodiness with little herbal additions on the edges. And upon addition of water, these feautres stand fast.
Finish might be a bit worked on, but this is absinthe, tasty absinthe, and definitely an Artist makes it.
