Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is very, very winey at first nosing but it’s in no way an ‘added’ vinosity. Everything is very coherent in there, the notes of bitter oranges and very ripe melons quickly leaving room for drier aromas such as apple peelings, walnut liqueur, almond milk, marzipan and café latte. Gets fresher and fresher after that, sort of purer and cleaner, mostly on apple juice. Also hints of stout and just a very faint rubber (inner tube, not unpleasant at all) as well as touches of herbal tea (maybe rosehip.) Not exactly a sherry monster on the nose, the spirit and Manzanilla work very well together I think
restaurant Palate
this is even sweeter than on the nose – so much for dry sherry. A lot of orange marmalade, plum jam and crème brûlée with notes of walnuts again and something pleasantly ‘nervous’ and slightly prickly (icing sugar) playing with your tongue
timer Finish
medium long, clean, a little maltier and toastier. Hints of peat
