Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

just like last time we tried a CI DE, in 2017, I'm having the impression that they haven't pushed the Moscatel too much, no bad news indeed. Having said that it is extremely soft, with touches of kelp and beach sand, plus whiffs of butter fudge and, indeed, some kind of cooked sweet wine

restaurant Palate

a smoky and fudgey arrival, with some good salt and brine. Then some kind of drier Madeira-like wine, and indeed some sweeter moscatel. Less dissonant than I had feared

timer Finish

medium, first on fudge and toffee, then with a little salted liquorice. Iodine, earth and tobacco in the aftertaste
