Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

not really a blast of Muscat but there are muscatty aromas flying over some rather grassy and leathery notes, with also kind of a greasiness (motor oil?) and quite some malt and soot. The whole isn’t as exuberant as the word ‘muscat’ would have suggested

restaurant Palate

very sweet and round but not dull or sluggish, even if there’s a relative lack of body in the middle. A few salty notes, mild honey, orange blossom water, faint hints of sweet mustard and touches of sultanas (the Muscat I guess)

timer Finish

short to medium, more directly on raisins and maybe dried dates
