Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
very deep amber
air Nose
some walnut pie, plus ‘a new pack of untipped Camels’, plus a lot of mead or what the Bretons call chouchen, plus touches of strawberry and yellow plum jams, plus drops of soy sauce and lovage extract (akin to Maggi but that’s not Maggi). Hard to question, although it’s rather less dry than anything related to fino sherry, in my opinion. With water: more Maggi, walnuts and honey. Some kind of very old bottle of Malmsey, or something like that. It’s amazing that they created so much complexity within just 6 or 7 years
restaurant Palate
very punchy, and unexpectedly tertiary. Plenty of walnut liqueur and wine, tobacco, curry, mint sauce, pepper… This is one big beast, I can assure you. With water: gets a little dry and bitter, not too sure it swims extremely well. I had expected some kind of honeyed sultriness
timer Finish
long, great when unreduced – but a bit hot – and a tad tea-ish when reduced
