Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
coffee/mahogany
air Nose
prunes in Armagnac, Armagnac-soaked prunes, prune jam with Armagnac, prune sauce flambéed with Armagnac… Well, I guess you get the drift. Then more chocolate and coffee, fruitcake and a little leather, the whole getting then slightly gamey, in a nice way. Heavy, heavy sherry! With water: as often with these sherry monsters, it got more dry and ‘tertiary’, with more tobacco, herbs, smoke, soot, soy sauce… Quite superb now, I must say
restaurant Palate
thick and extremely rich, almost ‘spoonable’. Tar liqueur, creosote, oranges, cinchona, pepper, blackberry jam… The heaviness doesn’t prevent it from being very pleasant but of course, if you don’t like big sherry, you may drop this one. With water: great development, on notes of mint, eucalyptus drops, pepper, liquorice…
timer Finish
even more mint! High extraction. Long. Coffee in the aftertaste, as well as unexpected hints of tinned litchis
