Tasting Notes

Colour

dark gold

air Nose

loads of burnt wood and vanilla pods at first, plus cappuccino and caramel. Very powerful, yet quite endearing. With water: citrus comes out in force, especially bergamots and kumquats (which, incidentally, are the favourite citrus fruits of retired Dutch dentists—sorry, private joke). Then come waves of deep black soil and geraniums

restaurant Palate

this seems excellent. Oranges, ginger, and chocolate in perfect harmony, but also a lot of ethanol. As a result… With water: incredible—you can add litres of water, and it remains powerful. This time, the usual spices take centre stage, with pepper leading the charge

timer Finish

very long, oranges and pepper, with a touch of maple syrup in the background
