Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

struck matches strike first, so to speak, together with some leather and rubber, which makes it not too different from the Samaroli except that the kirschy notes are much less obvious. Sherry. More grass, more oak. Kind of unsexy so far but water may unleash more aromas. Hopefully! With water: earth! ;-)

restaurant Palate

it’s a big, rich, earthy and medicinal kind of sherry, way nicer than on the nose when neat, tarry, rooty… Some gentian, chartreuse, maraschino (did Mr Mainardi add that? ;-)), a lot of liquorice, cough syrup, then crystallised lemons… Right, limoncello. A big yet nervous Macallan, much to my liking. With water: rich, fruitier, even earthier, with also these beautiful notes of oranges and toffee that we used to find in the old official Macallans

timer Finish

quite long, a tad grassier. Herbal liqueur again in the aftertaste
