Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
starts with rather a lot of 'good' sulphur, which, in my book, translates into big fat Cuban cigars and truffle cappuccino. Sounds nicer, does it not? Would then rather gear towards regular cappuccino and glazed chestnuts, as well as bouillon, dried porcini or Caesar's mushrooms. Unusual and intriguing so far. With water: mushrooms ruling the show, including morels and truffles. Also cured ham and more tobacco, leather, ground turmeric, ginseng powder…
restaurant Palate
bites you a wee bit, with loads of bitters, dried mushrooms again, leather, and this feeling of sucking your cigar while you reach its end (as I remember that). Includes ashes. Very tight, almost paprika-y at times. With water: cold broth full of ham, chives, parsley, mushrooms, coffee…
timer Finish
long, still tight and ultra-dry, with some bitter chocolate and even more salty bouillon
