Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

fat, buttery, mineral, slightly sulphury (in the greatest of ways), shock-full of walnuts and pistachios in all their states, with some carbon dust and the smells of a pre-war Rolls-Royce. I am not joking. Add to that litres of amontillado, fino and vin jaune. With water: even more of all that. Pour this in Arbois or Château-Chalon, or indeed in Sanlucar, over chicken and morels, or langoustines

restaurant Palate

full nutty oloroso, you would almost believe this was a proper solera cask. Mustard, amontillado, walnuts, bits of tobacco, coffee toffee… With water: more crazy toffee, mocha, walnut wine, indeed oloroso, pipe tobacco, mustard sauce (à la diable), pistachio nougat, green honeys…

timer Finish

long, mustardy and oloroso-y. A feeling of slate in the aftertaste
