Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

when you see peat and first fill sherry, you’re really only looking for one thing, balance. Let’s see… Well, it’s a success, nicely camphory with touches of wasabi, then candied oranges and the expected green walnut. It works like sheet music (Verdi’s, no less!) With water: peaty nocino! È una bomba!

restaurant Palate

impressively compact, saline and very smoky. The sherry only punctuates it all without ever trying to take over, even if there’s a lovely bit of salted dark chocolate. With water: pepper and leather come crashing in, adding tension without upsetting the balance… slightly brutal now, though

timer Finish

very long, mustardy, peppery and crammed with walnuts
