Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
indeed, that would be ‘espresso’
air Nose
on full prune mode, with whiffs of pencil shavings yet again, cedar wood, touches of blood oranges, tamarind jam, and really a load of fruit ganache and dark chocolate. Ideas of walnut stain as well, but that feeling may be induced by the colour. With water: some heavy chocolaty and coffee-ish oak, and some pine needles in the background. Extremely extractive
restaurant Palate
hyper-rich, spicy, oaky, and almost totally on bitter chocolate and strong black tea, Russian-style. Not an easy baby, and actually quite a monster. A good monster. With water: fruits and Provence herbs. Barbecued apricots with some thyme and rosemary, perhaps. More pine needles as well (crunching some, which I guess we’ve all tried when we were kids)
timer Finish
long, very ‘dark’, boldly chocolaty and dry. Raisins and cinnamon in the aftertaste, with a feeling of modern armagnac
