Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
raisins and oranges! It’s the fresh fruitiness that first comes out, then some rather unusual spicy cigars, cloves, something like these Indonesian clove cigarettes (gudang garang), then quince and pomegranates for sure, a drop of muscatel… And then massive amounts of vanilla fudge and butterscotch. I have to say I find this superb, and certainly unusual. With water: patchouli and tobacco. Turns as cloudy as milk on a bad Beijing day
restaurant Palate
extremely rich yet kind of light, certainly bubblegumy, and very grassy. Haribo’s strawberry sweets, Turkish delights, pink peppercorns, then some peat coming out, as well as a little salt. Really unusual, what kind of sherry was that? With water: spicy chocolate and raspberry jam, plus a drop of brine. Was the sherry butt sourced in… Oporto?
timer Finish
quite long, rather on crème de cassis, ginger, chocolate and smoke. More walnuts on the aftertaste
