Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
probably one the most delicate and vibrant herbal teas ever. Serious, it starts all on chamomile and maybe rosehip (and possibly hawthorn and lime-blossom tea), with then more pine tree and marzipan, with this kind of resinous/almondy feeling that some old whiskies can display. There’s also a little bacon showing up after a little while, maybe from the butts, and finally more fruits, especially green melons and white peaches, as well as discreet whiffs of… sangria? After a good fifteen minutes: more resinous notes, cough syrup… But it remains rather elegant and delicate. No wham-bam HP so far
restaurant Palate
much more compact and starting rather on wood spices and many things mentholated, before it becomes more candied, that is to say more on honeydew and orange marmalade. The almondy notes are back as well, marzipan, candied lemon zests…
timer Finish
medium long, clean and soft, with an oak that’s well there but always kept at a distance. More orange marmalade in the aftertaste
