Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
ah, this starts well! This baby smells just like pure honey at first nosing, mead, honeycomb… There’s also some plum jam, maple syrup, orange blossom and only touches of cinnamon and camphor. Screams ‘old style’ but it’s also amazingly aromatic at only 40% vol. and after all these years in glass. Keeps developing for a long time, becoming more resinous and spicy but always in a mellow way. Quite some liquorice too. A great selection made twenty-three years ago. After fifteen minutes, it really starts to smell like an old Sauternes. Really. With such a nose, the palate shouldn’t be flat and dry… Let’s see…
restaurant Palate
right, it’s not as smooth and silky as on the nose and there is something dry and drying in the attack (cardboard, strong tea, cinnamon) but it’s under control. Sort of. Anyway, that’s a shame because there are many flavours from a beehive in the background, honey, beeswax… Also quite some grassy/spicy notes, thyme, maybe capers (no too sure)… Too bad this isn’t as luscious as on the nose, we’d have had a winner
timer Finish
short to medium, with the sweet notes being back and a little less grassy and bitter notes, although they’re back in the aftertaste
