Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold (refill)

air Nose

a bit hard at first nosing, rawish and spirity, slightly too pungent even at 45% vol. Notes of artisanal kirsch, paraffin and bitter oranges, then more rubber, old wine barrel and cut grass. Pastis. Nicer than it sounds but still not that nice in my opinion…

restaurant Palate

it’s a little better than on the nose but still raw and slightly dirty and indefinite. Sangria? Same notes of kirsch, plum spirit, a little tar, chewing tobacco, rubber… A little shaky and muddy in my opinion, not quite Samaroli material

timer Finish

quite long but again, rather on kirsch and rubber
