Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
richer and rounder than the German, but less smoky. This is more proper sherry than red wine, which we shall just applaud. Jaffa cakes aplenty, marmalade, mirabelle jam, tarte tatin, prunes, pipe tobacco, garden peat, compost… Well, this is pretty perfect. With water: more perfect yet. Cakes, energy bars, maple syrup, sultanas…
restaurant Palate
excellent and rather between malt whisky and an old rye. It is unusual indeed, sweet and spicy, with loads of creamy orange liqueur, ginger, turmeric, and really a lot of vanilla, rather than cassis or other ex-red wine flavours. Was this barrique ‘virgin and charred’ when filled or seasoned with the wine? With water: it takes water well but it’s displaying even more spicy rye. Touches of lavender, nutmeg…
timer Finish
long and all on similar flavours. And it would leave your mouth perfectly fresh
