Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
It's as if someone smoked sherry, added chunks of burnt tyre, ten litres of cold lapsang souchong, and a litre of smoked Chinese sauce in the style of hoisin but smoked. I also detect notes of rooibos and, coming from the pinot noir, and please excuse this very old but nevertheless authentic expression, 'smells of an old priest who doesn't take good care of himself'. Yes, I know, but we can't go against history. With water: juniper and clove
restaurant Palate
honestly, we've already tasted malts smoked with sheep and even elephant dung, so there's nothing left to risk (or so one thinks). It's still a bit odd, there's especially a tremendous amount of juniper notes at this stage. The pinot noir adds some notes of gamey hare. With water: it's like gin aged in a sweet wine cask
timer Finish
long, spicy, a tiny bit suffocating
