Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
hot and maybe a tad lactic at first nosing, with the sherry being quite obvious but not raisiny or chocolaty at all. A little raw and spirity, hints of ale. Water should help: ah it got sort of richer, more candied and much more on crystallised oranges and honey. Huge notes of fino sherry (notes of ‘yellow’). Water really works here
restaurant Palate
extremely rich, hot and concentrated. Same notes of ale as on the nose, peat, curry, plum spirit (good slivovitz), dried ginger… Rather explosive I must say. Quick, water: right, it’s the smokiness that comes out now, together with notes of date arrak, dried longans, oranges and even very strong coffee (ristretto). This one really needed water!
timer Finish
long, on coffee beans and bitter chocolate, which is very far from our first impressions on the nose. Ginger
