Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
this is great, with superb notes of crystallised oranges, baklavas, leather, smoked tea and even something like ‘peat’ (granted, there isn’t any peat). Rose-scented soap (pleasant here), lychees, orange blossom… And back on plain oranges. Perfectly constructed as far as the nose is concerned, and no obvious ‘vinosity’
restaurant Palate
rich, complex, fruity (oranges galore), honeyed, spicy and mineral. It’s very winey in fact, but it works very well, maybe because of the wine’s trademark dryness. It’s not the first time that I prefer Madeira over other finishings (like, say at Benriach’s). Gets more candied and even caramelly as well as simpler after a moment, but it’s still very good
timer Finish
long, more toffee-ish
