Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

starts amazingly quiet, a tad shy, with a few oaky and orangey notes flying around. Hints of old white wine, sauce hollandaise, maybe a little sourish. With water: opens up but gets rather winey (cassis buds tea) and unexpectedly earthy/rooty. Notes of cranberry juice. A little dusty. Maybe lacks a little polishing, that is to say a few more years

restaurant Palate

too powerful. Orange drops and bitter tea (over-infused). With water: that did not work too well, it got too gingery and a tad ‘chemical’ (cheap fruit drops)

timer Finish

long, more on strawberry drops. A little cardboardy too
