Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
indeed the sherry impact is lighter here, while we’re rather geared towards some kind of sweet tobacco, then lots of sultanas and orange rinds. What’s even greater is what’s happening in the background, with some kind of apricot syrup playing with some spearmint, puréed vanilla-ed chestnuts and quince jelly. Rather more complex than your average 12 yo. With water: perfect, fig rolls, cinnamon cake, honeydew
restaurant Palate
oh very good. This one’s earthier, with more bitter oranges as well, always these touches of spearmint, then some kinds of mentholy raisins and quite some heather honey. Another wink for HP? Just a wee touch of fresh oak in the background. With water: gets a tad firmer, earthier, and a little earthier as well. All is well in place, I can’t find the slightest flaw. Not that we need any, mind you…
timer Finish
rather long, a tad more orange-y. Marmalade, cloves, ginger, chocolate, raisins, and a welcome pine-y earthiness in the background
