Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
cocoa, soot and ashes, this is very different. It’s actually immensely chocolaty and it’s only after a good fifteen seconds that stewed fruits and prunes and blackberry jam start to show up. Also something frankly metallic, in a good way. Old tin boxes full of chocolate-coated prunes. With water (while it became as opaque as milk): spicy raisins, ginger and crystallised oranges everywhere
restaurant Palate
very spicy, rich, coating, extractive and kind of oriental. Sweet curry, ginger sauce, gingerbread, raisins, honey and mustard sauce… I’m sorry if that sounds unlikely, because it’s not. This works! Probably some very active oak involved. With water: same profile, just easier and maybe fruitier. A lot of bergamots and kumquats
timer Finish
long, fruity and spicy. Oranges. Reminds me of some Christmas Stolle or of some artisan Panettone. Love that
