Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
powerful, rounded and, as expected, heavily on fruitcake. Lovely notes of beeswax coat the whole thing. I think we’d better add water straight away… With water: plenty of fresh glue, fig leaves, freshly sawn wood, ground coriander seeds and raw chocolate, all still wrapped in that lovely beeswax. The fruitcake notes aren’t as exuberant as anticipated, but who’s complaining?
restaurant Palate
ultra-powerful, and once again dominated by walnut wine and bitter orange zest. Truth be told, we’re quite fond of this style, though we know water can completely turn things around… With water: here comes the malty sweetness, dried figs, currants, fir honey and a good dollop of marmalade. This is when it really starts to shine
timer Finish
long, spicier and simply more ‘oloroso’, though perhaps just a tad too spicy
