Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
punchy, with these notes of walnut liqueur that a second fill sherry + peat combination sometimes create, and a lot of peat there is! Some leather too, bitter oranges, cinchona/Campari, quite some tar, cocoa powder… With water: it’s as if water had killed the sherry dimension. Much more seaweed, clams, seawater, smoked fish and lemon. Sea fruit salad?
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, punchy and kind of mineral, the sherry being rather dry and certainly not dominating (think light seasoning). Also some walnut liqueur again, plain walnuts, marzipan, lemon marmalade… A little wax as well, salty liquorice… The whole is quite concentrated. With water: changes directions a bit, very nicely, just as peaty, but kind of earthier. Fresh mushrooms. Some toffee in the background
timer Finish
long, leafy and leathery now. Bitter almonds and a little chocolate. Salty aftertaste
