Tasting Notes
Colour
amber-coffee
air Nose
ceps and other wonderful wild mushrooms, black trumpets, morels… That’s just the start, because it tends to go towards rhum agricole after that, with black olives and some sugar cane, then rather beef cooked in honey sauce, spare ribs in chilli sauce, soy sauce, umami, a box of cigars, very old oloroso (there must be some inside), or perhaps antique palo cortado… What an astounding complexity!
restaurant Palate
yeah, I know what may have bothered me a bit last time, it starts a little soapy and even ‘lavendery’, ala Bowmore from the 1980s. What’s much better is that it gets then immensely complex, totally deep, and fantastically tertiary. More cigars, more oils, more coal tar and pitch, more resins and saps, and more meaty, bouillony things. Like, indeed, wee pieces of ceps and morels, marrow, lard, chives, summer truffles… And chocolate. Yes, chocolate
timer Finish
medium, very chocolaty. Reminds me of that Mexican chocolate sauce, mole. Liquorice in the aftertaste
