Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
right, I remember. I remember these soft nut pastes, these wonderful floral notes (patchouli, dried flowers, everlasting), this subtle marzipan, putty, old oil paint, these whiffs of ‘old Jaguar’ (always quoting the old Jags because they were always leaking – ha), also old books (whisky bibles?) then menthol, embrocations, camphory balms, then a little umami – apologies, osmazôme – and just myriads of tinier aromas. Absolutely thrilling, they could do a whole series on Netflix just about this one
restaurant Palate
holy featherless prime minister! Once you get past the rather oaky tones (putties), you come across all oils of the creation, sesame, rapeseed, sunflower… also essential oils perhaps, mint and thyme… Having said that, I think it lost steam in its bottle, together with the fruitiness that was there in the first place, in 2002. In short it got drier and perhaps a little tired. Hard to be sure, I last tried this baby as it was coming out, in 2002. A little perplexed…
timer Finish
medium, rather on all kinds of herbal teas, with something a little resinous
