Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
not easy! Much less demonstrative than the first version of the 18 (Opitz Pinot Noir) and actually quite shy, with notes of fresh wood, barrel (slight mouldiness), grass and ashes. As if the wine cask had sort of neutralised the usually more expressive spirit. Takes off a bit after quite some minutes (butter pears and pineapples, plums) but never gets really, well, expressive. The wine is discreet, even if there are a few perfumy notes flying around (roses again.)
restaurant Palate
the wine is more obvious here. Hints of pineapple liqueur – or pineapple-flavoured tea, vanilla fudge and ‘white wine’, getting then rather more citrusy (grapefruits). Nicely made but not exactly my cup of malt because it’s a tad too dual for my taste (whisky + wine)
timer Finish
rather long, more lemony. Just a little rubber in the aftertaste
