Tasting Notes
Colour
ruby / coffee
air Nose
modern, very active sherry that's really more about the wood than the wine. I find a lot of warm sawdust, cupboard spices, office coffee and these tart, almost acidic, red fruits and berries. I can see why six months was probably sufficient. With water: dark grains, rye bread, pumpkinseed oil and orange bitters. Also more herbal and aromatic, verging on some aged Fernet Branca perhaps. I prefer it with water
restaurant Palate
quite sharp, hot and a little disjointed. These same slightly acidic and sharp fruit notes, young Kriek beer, acid drops, strawberry jam and also bitter instant coffee, cloves and a bit of astringency from the wood. Still quite a bit of wood sharpness and also some meaty tones coming through. With water: spicier and still quite prickly but also a bit more cohesive and 'together'. The oak in undeniably pretty dominant throughout here though. Some dried red fruits and over-stewed, bitter black tea
timer Finish
medium, bitter, very peppery and with a lot of quite assertive wood spice
