Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very herbal, with lots of tea, getting quite spicy (clove and white pepper). Otherwise quite simple, getting a bit too grainy and yeasty
restaurant Palate
ah, this is so much better! Flower jellies, dried pineapple and guava, fresh tropical fruits… How good! Astonishingly nervous after more than 25 years in its bottle. Develops on quince jelly… It’s all excellent. Too bad the nose was so-so, otherwise it would have deserved much more than 86 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: is Patti Smith back? Well, she never really left but maybe anti-folk passionaria Randi Russo is sort of a new Patti. That's what I thought when I heard League of the Brigands.mp3 for the first time. Do you like her slightly detuned voice? Then buy her music! And ah, yes, Patti Smith... Do you remember Redondo beach.mp3 ? Great memories...
