Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep red amber
air Nose
who said archclassic? Strawberry jam, mango chutney, putty, raisins and milk chocolate – and plenty of all that. Second layer: camphor, mint and liquorice plus touches of tar. Third layer: cigars, parmesan cheese and old balsamico. All that is bordering perfection
restaurant Palate
of course we won’t find the exact glorious combination that we had on the nose again, but this is very engaging albeit a notch drying, with rather more liquorice and tar than usual. Unfolds on black raisins and touches of dark rum, the whole being rather ‘darker’ than usual this time (i.e. more liquoricy). Mint from the wood. The middle is a notch weaker but nothing embarrassing
timer Finish
a tad short but I love all this mint. Crunching a few After Eights (without all that damn and deadly sugar that they now put into them)
