Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold, so even less red wine, if any
air Nose
some kind of refill? Or some white vinho? Alvarinho? Bical? Viosinho? Encruzado? Arinto?... It’s just totally lovely, all we’d need now is some Pastéis de Belém. A perfect match. Perfect mirabelle and quince jams, apricot compote, custard, juicy golden sultanas… With water: American oak rather than wine, vanilla, touches of blood oranges, more mirabelles, and a certain Balvenie-ness. Apologies to William Grant
restaurant Palate
it’s pretty perfect indeed. Mirabelle jam and touches of gunflints and white pepper. Works perfectly. With water: same. Some engaging lightness, not often to be encountered in wineskies
timer Finish
medium, on yellow jams and syrups. Custard, apricots, plums, acacia honey (a disaster in Europe this year, almost no acacia honey!)
