Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber-orange
air Nose
starts on an amazing blend of honey, oranges, raisins and old papers and books. Loads of sultanas! There’s also notes of late harvest Alsatian Pinot Gris, and then the same kind of medicinal notes as in the others. Magnificent (this time!) winey notes in the background, mint… ‘Clean old barrel’. With water: more on old leather, various herbal liqueurs, very old Sauternes, more mint… And faint whiffs of burnt matches and exhaust pipe. Too ‘sulphury’? Not!
restaurant Palate
rounder and rather creamy attack, getting then superbly dry, with distinct notes of parsley. Then wine sauce, with a beautiful spiciness. Cloves and various peppers. With water: more salt, ham, milk chocolate and overripe apples
timer Finish
very long, wonderfully mentholated
