Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts less fresh and less fruity, much more marked by the wood (sherry?) More on grapefruits, crystallised lemon, tea… It gets then quite rubbery, even grassy… Too bad, really, but maybe water will put it on the right track… Well, that works partially because we do have more fruits now (green apples, white gooseberries) but not the tropical ones. And the rubber comes out even stronger, alas
restaurant Palate
quite better than the nose now, the trademark fruitiness managing to shine through the sherry. But it’s still a little too rough, too aggressive to be enjoyed without water. So, with water: good news, it killed the sherry and the rubber but it did not really reveal new fruit layers except citrus fruits and quite some tannins. The finish is quite long, though, but a little bitter, drying and disturbingly salty (considering the general profile). 77 points .
