Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
much less winey than the G&M but even more on leather and huge notes of bitter chocolate and even cocoa powder. Also hints of molasses, rich honey (chestnut), ham, onion sauce or jam, chutney… A wee chalkiness and quite some gunpowder again over this debauchery ;-). With water: more resin, putty, marzipan, custard, ‘new car interior’, pipe tobacco…
restaurant Palate
this time it’s this one that’s more winey, more classically sherried, all on prunes and chocolate, with a good deal of herbs in the background. Mint, Jägermeister, pepper and blackcurrant jelly (and the tea made out of leaves or buds). A tannic feeling. With water: a tad more elegant than the G&M, more on fine herbs and several tertiary notes, around bitter almonds and Bénédictine
timer Finish
very long, with quite some pepper
