Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s more bourbony, for sure, with much more vanilla and maple syrup than in the others, but there are also lovely floral notes (dandelions), plus quinces and perhaps williams pears. It seems that this is a rounder one, but let’s see… With water: not at all. Grass, earth, mint, hay…

restaurant Palate

starts rounded and even honeyed, but a grassy cavalry is soon to arrive. Bitter herbs, eating grass (when you’re playing rugby – or if you’re Christiano Ronaldo), green pepper… This is getting really pungent and fierce, quick, water… With water: again one that we tamed, but more oaky tones came out. Walnut skins, strong black tea…

timer Finish

rather long but quite ‘sawdusty’
