Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very strange nose. White hermitage is a big, spicy wine with plenty of character, and that shows here. There’s a strange kind of spicy earthiness, a lot of chalk, strange notes of overripe gooseberries, then a growing ‘old barrel’ side, quite musty and maybe not of the best kind. Some burnt fruits too, burnt raisin cake… With water: some sulphur coming through. Hardboiled eggs
restaurant Palate
very bizarre. Marshallows and pepper? Plum jam, lees, blood oranges, caramel… Really unusual. With water: becomes more unlikely. Tinned pineapples and burnt wood
timer Finish
quite long, both fruity and bitter. Yeah, pineapples and burnt wood
