Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
the exact opposite of the ‘puncheon’, starting on crushed ripe strawberries (and the jam made thereof) and roses. Also notes of marc, marmalade, touches of juniper berries, kirsch and big black cherries. Also incense and sandalwood
restaurant Palate
this is really fun! There’s a bourbonesque spiciness and bags of dried fruits and jams, the whole being quite thick and even extravagant with all this richness. Juniper berries, caraway seeds, cherries, kumquats, tons of blackcurrant jelly, touches of pencil shavings from some obviously fresh oak, sweet pepper and then quite some orange squash that’s a little strange in this context (Fanta-ish, if you see what I mean). But anyway, it’s an explosive palate
timer Finish
long, more nervous and citrusy. Quince fruit jelly
