Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
blow trumpets, little Parma violets or lavender perfume at first nosing, although the profile is there, lurking in the background. Starts rather on strawberry jams and cranberry juice, overripe bitter oranges and just smoked fish. Smoked fish with cranberry jam, that’s it. Also a sweetish smoke and then more and more seawater. With water: oh, everything went away! Becomes very farmy after a few minutes, with even notes of vase water and floor cloth. It’s not that it doesn’t swim well, it doesn’t swim at all
restaurant Palate
the style is much more vivid, maybe brought even more to the front by the sherry. Lavender sweets, Fanta, liquorice allsorts and gin plus black pepper and even horseradish. A very strange combo, not unknown to many of us. In its style, it’s a winner! With water: much, much better, swims like a champ on your palate. It became creamy, lavenders and violets have kissed us goodbye and it became much more coastal and peaty. Almost miraculous
timer Finish
medium long, briny. Orange zests in the aftertaste
