Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, I don’t quite understand why the reputation isn’t too high because I find it quite superb, amazingly fresh and, above all, wonderfully resinous with these whiffs of fresh putty and freshly crushed almonds, then camphor and mint-flavoured tea. Now, it’s true that it gets then a tad drier and oakier, maybe even a little tea-ish (dry tannins) but there’s also a most pleasant fruitiness. Pineapple pie? Gets then a little shier and less expressive but it doesn’t dry up
restaurant Palate
drier and sort of weaker at this point, but not dry and weak of course. Green bananas, lemon balm tea, nutmeg, ginger, honey, mint and cinnamon. The mint grows and grows, and so does the nutmeg. Quite some cloves as well
timer Finish
medium long but perfectly balanced, half fruity (bananas), half spicy (mostly cinnamon)
