Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
red amber
air Nose
great smoke. This is much more classic than the version at 46%, and maybe more complex as well even if it’s a bit hard to nose at 58%. Right, let’s quickly add water… With water: great! There’s some smoke, various herbs, great spices, various resins just like in the version at 46%, notes of Armagnac-soaked prunes, dried mushrooms, horse saddle, old Burgundy wine, old Sauternes as well… An immense surprise so far (but it would be criminal not to add water to this one)
restaurant Palate
excellent! Big, punchy, wonderfully full, chocolaty and spicy, with very special earthy notes. Now, it does need water again. With water: we’re much, much closer to the version at 46% as far as the general profile is concerned (resin and prunes). A little more ginger as well, cinnamon, dried bananas, raisins, crystallised pineapples, coconut milk… Also a very pleasant earthiness
timer Finish
long, very compact and coherent, more on fruits and easier on resin
