Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
no proper sugarganza, rather pencil shavings and mead, then big, fat, moist golden raisins, as well as gorse and wisteria. We're still around self-restraint but you do feel that things could… explode. With water: they never do, this remains kind of gentle, well-mannered, with more mead, touches of fruity cognac, and just a hint of mustard and tobacco, which would rather make us think of… Madeira
restaurant Palate
the sweet wine feels much more on the palate and comes with some kind of smoky curry and chutneys, plus bucketloads of rich honey. And yet, it's not cloying in any way. Mind you, it's neither Don Papa nor Bumbu. With water: some sugar coming out, muscovado, some sweeter beer, and perhaps some moscatel
timer Finish
medium, with the smoke and ashes coming to the front now. They took their time. Also clove and nutmeg
