Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
little sherry as such at first sniffs, rather some big almondy notes, butter, a little varnish and nail polish, ham, tea and ‘clean’ vase water. Yes, make that light green tea. A rather delicate oldie, much less wham-bam than expected – and much less woody as well. Becomes waxy and slightly papery after a while, with also notes of linseed oil and mint. And more shoe polish after a moment. Rather complex but lacks a little zing. Let’s see what gives on the palate
restaurant Palate
it’s all a matter of wood it seems, but this big woodiness is very far from being unpleasant. At random, we have camphor, ginger, soft curry, nutmeg (big), tea, mint, liquorice, rosemary, marzipan, wax, bitter oranges... It’s only at the very end of the middle that it gets a little tannic
timer Finish
long but the oak got a little less enjoyable now. Drying tannins, overinfused tea and apple peelings on top of orange marmalade and mint drops
