Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

not much, or rather almost nothing, only, maybe, a little butter and litres of white-spirit. Or, dare I say, vodka? I remember a ‘Balkan Vodka’ at 88% vol. (they had added ‘handle with great care’ onto the label, a smart move.) With water: much harder to tame than the 1972. Still raw and grassy, rather eau-de-vie-ish. With more water (we’re around 35% now): some earth and roots coming through, me likes. Our beloved gentian spirit?

restaurant Palate

same feeling as with the 1972. Fructose and lemon. Hem… With water: ah yes, it became quite brilliant, with a perfect earthiness and a lot of herbs, chives, sage, dill… and more. Very clean and pure, very fresh

timer Finish

long, earthy, with more liquorice wood after that. Maybe these pears again in the aftertaste
