Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a little too strong, I’m afraid. Hay, calvados apples and leather, perhaps, but it burns your nostrils. So, come my best friend… With water: it’s a subtle one, it’s got hay indeed, overripe apples, mentholated tobacco, a touch of cedar wood, popcorn, marzipan-filled chocolate, peanuts, fudge, pollen… and a little wood smoke too. After ten minutes it’s becoming much more floral, with violets and jasmine
restaurant Palate
very strong, thick, aggressive… and yet as oily as the fruitiest olive oil. I seem to detect quite some caramelised oak, toasted bread and warm vanilla fudge (when you leave it in your car in summer – yes I’m speaking from experience.) With water: excellent. Earth, gentian roots, walnuts, smoky liquorice and more bourbon wood goodness. Also love the oranges in it
timer Finish
long, clean, maybe not the most interesting part. Walnut cake? Pecan pie? More phenolic/sappy notes on the aftertaste. Smoked Chlorophyll – or something like that
