Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a little similar to the Scott at first sniffing, but even more resinous. Also a little herbal (fresh mint, lemon balm, camomile and verbena), with notes of rosehip and hawthorn teas. Hints of sandalwood, old roses, rubbed orange skin, and finally delicate oaky tones and a little praline. Antique? Not quite, this one is still quite talkative if not nervous. A very classy oldie
restaurant Palate
more wood here, obviously, but also fresh mint, walnuts, strawberry sweets, something like cranberry juice (no kiddin’), liquorice, old pu-erh tea and dried herbs (parsley, coriander). A little woody but not tired!
timer Finish
not too long but balanced, with rather soft tannins and again a little banana, green this time. Cinnamon
