Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is more refined, more elegant, and certainly more tertiary than all the others, which goes to show how important age can be. There are essential oils, for example (pine, perhaps ambergris or something…), wet jacket, mushrooms, fern, pine needles, fresh hazelnuts, moss, camphor… Most of those aromas usually only come after proper ageing in my opinion. With water: medicinal. Yeah
restaurant Palate
oh yeah. A very tight, pine-y and lemony arrival, exactly not soft and mellow, while it would rather unfold on many bitter herbs and roots. I cannot wait to see what happens after water’s been added. With water: loves water but once again, not too much or it loses a bit of its cohesion and coherence
timer Finish
long, smoky, herbal
