Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
very dark amber/mahogany
air Nose
oh wow! Immensely rich and amazingly complex right from the start, reminding me of the Saxplayer, only coated with much more fruits (all kinds, whether dried or as jams) and quite some chocolate. And the very same whiffs of coal smoke and beef stock plus these notes of high-end Cuban cigars, both unlit and lit (say a Robusto Extra by Trinidad – okay, forget about that.) With water: more of the same, really. Maybe an increased meatiness
restaurant Palate
absolutely phat-tastic, immensely concentrated and creamy but the most amazing thing is that it’s in no way heavy. Prunes, chocolate, very old sherry, old forgotten liqueurs (remember Parfait Amour?), pipe tobacco, jamon Iberico… And myriads of other aromas that I won’t list here and now (yes, all this porn would get even more boring). With water: it got a tad drier, I think water is not needed here, and maybe even to be avoided
timer Finish
long, does ‘the peacock’s tail’
