Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
superb! It’s a little tricky to nose this deeply at full strength but I get some huge yet wonderful notes of freshly cut green apples. With water: hmm, it gets a tad stranger, hard to say if it’s nice or not, or rather if I like this or not. Faint cheesiness appearing, dairy cream, sour apples… Oh well, let’s wait for the palate!
restaurant Palate
ho-ho, same notes of fresh green apples plus some camphory and minty notes, cough drops, something ‘freshly herbal’ (sorrel?)… Unusual. Also a little coffee and almond pie. With water: water works much better than on the nose in my opinion, it brings out quite some peppermint
timer Finish
long, rather herbal. Maybe some Bénédictine? (which just celebrated its 500th anniversary, by the way.)
