Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts with a little gunpowder and used matches, goes on with a perfect sooty style. Old stove, coal, burnt fruits, then tar and diesel oil, Chinese sundried fish (no, really), old wine cellar, dried kelp, touches of mercaptan that smell ‘nice’ in this context, new leatherette… So it’s all very imperfect, and yet so much nicer than the official ‘Select’ – partly because it’s got stories to tell us
restaurant Palate
same feeling. Totally imperfect, totally engaging. There are these sulphury notes again, some liquorice that’s ‘too much’, some burnt raisins that are ‘too much’, some dried fish that are ‘too much’, a leathery side that’s really ‘too much’… And yet the whole is almost perfect
timer Finish
many smoked and salted almonds are coming out
