Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝까지 올리면 누가와 프랄린, 캐모마일 차 같은 조심스러운 향이 먼저 다가온다. 잔을 더 흔들면 갓 벤 건초와 호두, 건포도가 얇은 셰리 기운과 함께 열린다. 40도를 한 모금 머금으면 맛은 가늘고 풀 냄새 쪽으로 기울며 설탕을 넣지 않은 허브차와 마지팬, 자몽 껍질이 속삭이듯 지나간다. 삼킨 뒤에는 건포도 몇 알의 단맛만 짧게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
this is discreet, rather elegant, on nougat, praline and herbal tea, say chamomile, then fresh hay and a touch of sherry, with walnuts and raisins. It’s truly elegant, and the very low strength isn’t bothersome (even though that extra 0.2% does make us chuckle)
restaurant Palate
this is where it turns a bit thin, grassy—but we can’t really fault it, as it’s called Green Meadow—and lightly dusty. Unsweetened herbal tea, no honey, a little tobacco, marzipan, orange zest, pink grapefruit peel, but all this merely whispers
timer Finish
a little short, with a few raisins and still those herbal teas
