Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pure gold
air Nose
superb marzipan, hot cake, salted caramel, candy sugar and Smyrna raisins. Hot chocolate, Kalhua liquor. Gets then more complex, with some meat sauce, balsamic vinegar, old books… Really beautiful, very bold and compact at the same time. More and more burnt caramel, roasted duck (and its Peking plum sauce), some perfumy notes too. Very complex!
restaurant Palate
wow, extremely bold and maybe a little smoky. Lots of strong honey (heather, chestnut), varnish, very strong tea and coffee, Something rummy and slightly salty, perhaps a little bitter, with some overcooked wine sauce. Very long finish, on orange sauce and balsamic vinegar. Very nice. 87 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: I remember when their first LP reached France in 1977 (I think), it blew our minds and not only because of Alfred Jarry (there was also Television, Richard Hell, Talking Heads...) Well, I haven't heard it since the late 1970's but now that I just found it on the Web, I must say it really stands the test of time with its bizarre sounds. So, here is Pere Ubu doing Nonalignment pact.mp3 . I think Pere Ubu is still around, or at least their leader David Thomas... So please buy their music!
