Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

starts with a wonderful dusty side (old library, encaustic, paper dust), gets then fruitier (the expected juicy peaches), then very floral (many nectars, many flowers), then superbly vinous. We’re talking proper old Pinot Gris (not the grigios, okay?) and a little feeling of good pineau des Charentes, which is only natural, is it not. A box of assorted Turkish delights, including the ones that are flavoured with rosewater. Love this very aromatic nose, I hope we haven’t started this session ‘too high and fast’

restaurant Palate

it’s a little humbler on the palate, just a little. Peaches stewed in honey and tangerine sauce, more Turkish delights, more pinot gris (late harvest) and some wonderful blood orange juice. Some white pepper from the oak

timer Finish

rather long despite the lower strength (but why oh why?) and all on peppered peaches of some sorts
