Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s a father shy and austere one or so it seems. I get some flints, clay, grass and only the zests from some oranges. Having said that, there’s also a more herbal profile that’s soon to take control, with some liquorice wood, roots, cut grass, aniseed… Also whiffs of old cellar, old wood… Touches of curry and mustard as well. With water: rubber boots coming out, bicycle inner tube, also some vanilla and ginger and very little other sherry influence at this point. Improves after ten minutes, becoming pleasantly citrusy. Citrons?
restaurant Palate
oily mouth feel and an attack on pepper and orange syrup plus the same grassy notes as on the nose. The pepper grows bigger while the fruitiness almost disappears. More mustard as well. Slightly too bitter for my taste… With water: better, cleaner, lemony. Just like on the nose, water made it more citrusy
timer Finish
medium long, on lemon grass and a little butter, with some pepper and ginger in the aftertaste
