Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
another one that’s rather in the ‘official’ style, that is to say rounded but oomphy, even if there’s rather more oak (fresh sawdust) than usual. Other than that, we have honey, pollen, flowers, smoke, apricots, tea and a wee chalkiness (wet limestone). With water: more meat and parsley. A little leather as well
restaurant Palate
not as unusual as the HB now, rather an all-classic HP, just as on the nose. Dried figs, dates, marzipan, Corinthian raisins, liquorice and a slight peaty bitterness (close to the chalkiness on the nose). Maybe a tad simple. With water: no, not simple, it just needed water. Typical ‘nervous’ honeyness, orange liqueur, aniseed (artisanal pastis), liquorice (that’s in pastis too), orange liqueur…
timer Finish
rather long, coating, on orange marmalade, honey and that very peculiar spiciness that sometimes comes from well-evolved peat
