Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
oh interesting, there’s a little olive oil and even some pinesap at first nosing, which suggests some rather active wood. That adds complexity when balance is kept! After that, the usual suspects… Honey, pollen, raisins, candle wax, dried figs, then touches of humus and mushrooms, as often, old wine cellar… It’s all very beautiful, and that was to be expected. Let’s only hope the palate won’t be a little flattish
restaurant Palate
not so, great news. Starts on old calvados and old Sauternes that went dry, goes on with some honey and orange liqueur, and keeps developing on herbal teas such as rosehip and hawthorn. Perhaps a drop of apricot-palinka aka barackpálinka, from Hungary. Just tried some, liked it, and am about to use it in my notes pretty often (oh no, that trick yet again!)
timer Finish
not extremely long, but firm and coherent. Honey and barackpálinka. Ha-ha!
