Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep orangey gold
air Nose
we're in the same territory as the South Star bottling, not so much port, but a lot of active, rather modern style simmering and sweet wood spices, which works quite well with the smokiness here, going into that comfortable bacon crisps/pork scratchings territory with other things like smoked paprika, tar extracts, shoe polish and fir wood resins all in the mix. Good fun. With water: more scented now, on exotic hardwood resins, fir cones, juniper, chai tea and molasses
restaurant Palate
sweet, concentrated, peppery and with an oily, syrupy peat vibe going on. More leathery notes, black olives and black pepper. With water: a little funkier with water, more gamey, more winey and more earthy with strawberry wine, tobacco and bramble liqueur
timer Finish
quite long, tarry, sweetly peaty, peppery and with rather a lot of camphor and wood resins
