Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
there’s less sherry in there than there is poetry in Donald T.’s mouth. Rather graphite, tarry ropes, hessian, fresh almonds, charcoal, paraffin, and acacia gum. Not your average middle-aged CI, but hold on, could this be the sherry speaking out? With water: I think not, for there are rather lovely herbal teas, a seafood platter, and a drop of Woolite
restaurant Palate
excellent sharp and pungent Caol Ila, with fantastic smoky lemons and the subtlest green teas of China. Love this greenness, with these herbs that are sometimes to be found in proper peaters, such as cress, spinach or sorrel. With water: yep yep yep (now that was useful, S.!)
timer Finish
rather long, on candied citrus and touches of bitter herbal liqueurs. Unicum? A sweeter touch in the aftertaste, could that be the sherry?
