Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
oh sugar! This is emphatically sherried, totally avalanchesque and amazingly rich... And yet it's clean and straightforward, compact, focussed... Excuse me? Well, that would be chocolate ganache, cigars, old balsamico and glazed chestnuts. With water: absolutely superb. Orangettes and black chocolate with a few drops of truffle oil and very, very old balsamic vinegar and just a little pitch
restaurant Palate
BANG! It's as oily as oil (need a spoon), yet kind of silky and very elegant, with tons of bitter chocolate and some kind of salmiaky tobacco. You can't make much heavier than this, and yet it's not stuffing at all. Mysterious and amazing. With water: perfect, just perfect. Bitter oranges, chocolate, also more prunes this time, some liquorice, a wee touch of salt
timer Finish
extremely long and now slightly herbal to 'lift' it, which makes it even more perfect. A tad Jaegery in the aftertaste, which works very well. Peppermint
