Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
as I remembered the 15 white label, that is to say rather hot, rough and spirity at first nosing, even rather feinty and sooty, which was a little un-Rosebank. Some iron shavings, carbon dust, old copper, suet, then rubbed grapefruit zests but no obvious fruitiness. Water should make it friendlier… With water: a lovely brioche filled with raisins and flavoured with a lot of orange blossom water. You're right, that could be the definition of panettone, another icon of Milan
restaurant Palate
the nose was a little scary when unreduced but this massive, peppery and citrusy palate works much better, even if soot and even ashes do abound. Lots of zests, some vegetables (especially stewed leeks and asparagus, also parsnips and turnips), plus perhaps a wee taste of glass/light as well as these metallic touches that you'll often find in old Cadenhead Dumpies. With water: excellent, a tad dirty(ish), still sooty and peppery, ashy, with some lemon juice and brine. It's getting unexpectedly salty
timer Finish
long, with some mint tea and bottled lemonade, plus more ashes and soot. Some mead in the aftertaste
