Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

rather big ‘modern’ oak but not only that, also quite some richness, with notes of sherry, Seville oranges, chocolate and honey, with some gunpowder in the background, pencil shavings. Rather playful

restaurant Palate

rich, malty, with good sherry. Honey, crystallised oranges, earl grey, then the oak’s spiciness (the infernal trilogy ginger-cinnamon-nutmeg) and quite some vanilla. Good body, good mouth feel

timer Finish

rather long, a tad more drying (more cinnamon) but also quite sweet, on peppered orange marmalade
