Tasting Notes

Colour

bronze gold

air Nose

of course you're a little lost at first, as pink bananas and guavas mixed with brine and coal tar is not a very common combination. I would say the tropical fruits do seem to have the upper hand, which would suggest that the older component in there does not consist in 'only a few drops', as any official entity would have done. No? Now it remains a tad quiet, let's see… With (a little) water: smoky plastics, bananas flambéed, ashes and old coat in a rainy country. It took off!

restaurant Palate

some sherry, roasted nuts, bulldog sauce, Marmite, certainly some Maggi blended with cough syrup, indeed coal tar, snuff, onion soup, cigar smoke, beef jerky, quite a lot of tar liqueur, beech ashes… The mouthfeel is rather creamy. Some bittersweet notes in the background (drier cream sherry, drier amoroso). With water: add only a few drops or it would pull a apart a wee bit. Otherwise it becomes very complex, on many kinds of bitters and herbal liqueurs, tobacco, oyster sauce…

timer Finish

long and even drier. A very old sweet wine that's digested all its sugars, as we say. Sauternes – indeed with some botrytis. Bone dry
