Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
black coffee with reddish hues. Seriously dark!
air Nose
quite the departure! Some kind of smoked Turkish delight mixed with pitch dark chocolate, sea salt and soy sauce. Notes of Maggi, tar, salted liquorice, jasmine tea, cured game meats and old leather. The sherry here is really well integrated and the whole feels beautifully dense, syrupy and gooey. Impressions of salted caramel, walnut liqueur and root beer. With water: Irish coffee, toasted pecans and walnuts, camphor and balsamic
restaurant Palate
perhaps a tad bitter at first, lots of tannic black tea, black pepper and herbal bitters - Jägerbombs anyone? I also get some kind of smoked raspberry jam, natural tar liqueur and cherry flavoured throat sweets. With water: dilution works well to soften things up quite a bit. Brings more meaty tones, more umami and a deep, damp earthiness. Bags of tobacco and bitter chocolate. But overall the tannins are softer
timer Finish
long, meaty, full of roasted nuts, game meats, coffee, tar, smoked paprika and medicines
