Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
hot clay, plastic and strong black tea! A pretty hot nose at first, lots of spiky alcohol. Takes a good couple of minutes or so for the heat to blow away, then there’s some leafy tobacco notes, crushed walnuts and cherry kirsch. Needs water I suspect. With water: plain brown bread, some cough syrup, rather jammy with some syrupy red fruit notes. Still a bit tough I feel
restaurant Palate
cherry jam on brown bread. Seriously, there’s quite a lot of cherries in this one for some reason. Boiled cherry sweets and maraschino notes. Also strong black coffee, bitter chocolate, toasted almonds and plain old marzipan. Not as brutal as on the nose at first. Some sweet pastries and a little olive oil. With water: there’s an acrid edge and the overall impression is still one of heat, biting wood spice and this general jammy quality. Not totally convinced by this one
timer Finish
Medium and rather on charred wood, some menthol cigarettes and black pepper. Some wee floral hints in the aftertaste
