Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very fruity at first nosing (ripe apples, pineapples) with a rather obvious mustiness in the background. Gets more beerish (not bearish like Wall Street) after a while, with also hints of geranium and warm praline, the whole being quite quick to fade away until it gets almost silent, except for a few herbal notes (lemon balm and hints of verbena). Pleasant but a little weakish, I’d say... The palate should determine the outcome
restaurant Palate
well, no, it does not work. First it’s a bit weakish again and then it’s the oak’s tannins that invade your mouth. Too drying and caramelly as well. Too bad, one can feel that what’s behind that is good stuff (for instance pretty notes of sultanas). And a short and tannic finish... Well, this Spinola series was really strange, it seems that it included true wonders but also unexpectedly feeble versions of blue chips (Port Ellen, this Macallan...)
