Marie Brizard Marie Brizard Anisette NV 750ml

Clear as rainwater. Initial sniffings reveal a heightened licorice fragrance that’s more herbal than sweet or candied; time in the glass allows the earthy scent of anise to permeate. Palate entry is intensely herbal and only moderately sweet; at midpalate, the flavor presence is defined, poised, mildly herbal and succulently sweet while the texture is medium-bodied and neither cloying nor syrupy. Aftertaste is long, gentle, softly sweet and licorice-like. The anisette gold standard.
