Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
this one suffers a bit from comparison with its two predecessors, it lacks a bit of the others’ perfect zestiness, although it’s closer to the Nectar than to the other TWA. It’s also a tad rawer and maybe a little spirity. Now, it’s still quite perfect, it’s just that the other two are terrific in my opinion. With water: improves. Some ham and a little humus. Motor oil (not that far from the 1999 but not as bold)
restaurant Palate
I like it better than on the nose when neat, but it’s really brutal at such high strength. Bites your tongue. With water: works, it brings out unexpected resinous notes – and big ones at that. Tastes almost like fir liqueur now!
timer Finish
long, salty, sooty, almondy and resinous
