Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
hmm… hard to say. There are these slightly unlikely notes such as ‘new plastic pouch’ as well as quite some porridge and, maybe, tiny-wee ideas of baby vomit. A little cabbage too, new tyres, ink (newspaper of the day)… On the other hand, some tropical fruits from the earlier vintages do remain, such as mangos and grapefruits. A little undefined so far, I’d say, although it tends to improve quite a lot with more breathing. With water: rather nicer. More farmy notes, a little manure, cow stable, a little seaweed
restaurant Palate
definitely better at first sips, with many more fruits, grapefruits, citrons, some lemon balm, honeysuckle honey, then more cough lozenges, smoked tea, pine tar liqueur… Having said that, it tends to become much drier over time. With water: becomes a little more briny and rather more medicinal at the same time
timer Finish
not very long, more on smoked tea and brine. Dry and slightly sour aftertaste
