Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep mahogany
air Nose
immediately concentrated notes of fig, raisin and bitter chocolate with mentholated aspects, heavy tobacco aromas such as pipe tobacco in old leather pouches. Deeper earthy tones are also quite prominent which gives impressions of damp earthen cellars, wine must and petrichor. In time it becomes almost minty and displays bitterer herbal extracts, verbena, walnut liqueur and converges on some very old green Chartreuse
restaurant Palate
I was afraid the addition of sugar may have hobbled this one, however the dryness remains firm and natural on arrival. Bitter chocolate, fresh espresso, roasted walnuts, cough syrup and leaf mulch. There's a heavier, slightly more rustic quality about it which to me is very typical pre-phylloxera style. Mushroom power, dried lemon peel, green walnut liqueur and black pepper. Many wee complexities continue to emerge. But it's a style which really demands patience and focus
timer Finish
medium in length, which is perhaps a tad disappointing, but this bitterness remains perfect and these flavours of walnuts, chocolate, earths, tobaccos and bitter herbs all remain precise and clear
