Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
sharper and more mineral, more varnishy too, more phenolic as well, more camphory… Hence certainly more medicinal. A little hard to say, in fact, the high strength makes it a bit brutal. With water: new car and old tools. Plus a little leather polish
restaurant Palate
absolutely perfect. Ultra-zesty, lemony, slightly salty, briny and, something that the others didn’t quite have, very kippery. I do not get any sherry, but who cares in this context? With water: you know, that feeling of riesling from an excellent winemaker. Unless it’s rather chenin blanc from appropriate terroirs
timer Finish
loses it a bit now, because of a higher sucrosity that is coming through (barley sugar), but I’m splitting hairs
