Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

same style as the Alchemist, maybe a notch more complex, more on mineral notes and more on tobacco and coffee. There’s also wonderful notes of blackcurrant and blackberry jellies and a little more liquorice, lovage, soy sauce... Brilliant nose!

restaurant Palate

extremely heavy, thick, concentrated, kind of acrid. Maximal extraction here, wondering whether there was any wood left after 16 years ;-). Anyway, very spectacular but probably not for everyone. Cooked wine, heavy jams, overinfused black tea… well, you get the drift. Let’s see what happens with water, I’m curious… With water: a greenness appearing, which was to be expected. Green tea, crème de menthe (do you know Get35?)

timer Finish

long, heavy, quite woody now. More strong tea and liquorice wood
