Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

rich, winey sherry with quite some leather and gunpowder/struck matches as well as big notes of liquorice. A lot of parsley too, prune sauce, game… Maybe a faint soapiness. Huge notes of coffee liqueur after a while. With water: extreme coffee and old varnish, old Armagnac, balsamic… Quite beautiful

restaurant Palate

starts a little bitterish and rubbery, with a lot of liquorice and a little mint, then these biggish notes of coffee liqueur once again. Also quite some milk chocolate. Very rich! With water: same, plus some ham and many herbs. Salmiak

timer Finish

long, with the liquorice and the herbs to the front – and the back
