Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

starts with a little cider or Sauternes-sulphur, with some hops, leaves, walnut skins, some gunpowder, then we have oil paint, clay, mushrooms, mustard à l'ancienne, pickled gherkins… I have to say this is a little intriguing and rather very Andalusian. Let's see how it evolves… With water: cigars, cedarwood, figs and forgotten vegetable gratin. Parsnip, swede, cardoon…

restaurant Palate

walnuts roasted in honey sauce and quite some gunpowder again. Chocolate, white truffles, touch of pointed cabbage and bok choy. Some demerara sugar. With water: awesome salted praline and nougat, earth, walnut liqueur, amaro…

timer Finish

long and rather all on walnut wine. A little mustard, grapefruit, roasted chestnuts and pecans in the aftertaste
