Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
ha-ha, this seems to be big. Not unlike the Spinola but with much, much more zing. Big notes of fresh pineapples and ashes, wood polish, orange blossom water, sandalwood, mint, a little lavender, violet sweets, roasted peanuts, sesame oil... And a little oak to sustain the whole. I like this nose a lot despite a very faint soapiness
restaurant Palate
a strong and even a bit acrid attack, with even more oak than in the MMcD. Chlorophyll and green tea, lemon zest... Gets very green and bitter after a while, nothing to do with the nose – at all. Too bad
timer Finish
long but very tannic. Well, I was prepared to go as far as 85+ points but the acrid palate pulls it down to around 75 points I’m afraid
