Tasting Notes
Colour
deep red mahogany. Scary…
air Nose
well, Banff has a lot to say but here it’s almost silent, or rather inaudible, because the sherry’s very loud. Having said that, it’s not a thickish, heavy-ish, lumpish kind of sherry, it’s rather a grapey, leathery and very old-balsamico-like one, which makes you think of many wines and other drinks, save whisky. Marsala, sherry indeed, Banyuls… Becomes more and more fino-ish, and after fifteen minutes, we almost have manzanilla. Banff, you say?
restaurant Palate
superb attack but it tends to become very dichotomic – I didn’t say harmolodic, fans of Ornette will understand. It makes me think of these raspberry-flavoured mustards, all that does not mingle too well and the whole becomes more and more dissonant. So yes, red fruits and mustard, you get the picture
timer Finish
medium long, a tad more coherent. Mulled wine?
