Tasting Notes

Colour

golden amber

air Nose

indeed this noses sweeter and more floral, with rose petals, overripe pears, perhaps dried longans and rambutans, but some main traits remain consistent, fresh cake, plum tarte, eucalyptus honey, and our beloved dried figs and dates. This is absolutely not what I had feared, unbalanced. With water: it’s true that it’s more ‘sherry’ than ‘moscatel’. Fig cake and pepper, plus this lovely earthy side that comes out after water’s been added

restaurant Palate

sweet and spicy, with the same slightly aggressive side that I had found in the ex-Port. Prickly pears, raisins, pepper, ginger, bitter oranges… With water: a creamier texture. Plum jam, green pepper, pomelos jam, candied ginger…

timer Finish

long and almost as always, spicier. Caraway, cloves, pepper… A very, very discreet touch of rubber in the aftertaste, perhaps
