Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
mahogany, almost deep red
air Nose
a more powerful version of the 40 but no monster, probably more on old wood (aged cigar humidor), walnuts, dried meat (jerky) and blackcurrant jam. Globally a little more varnishy, in a good way. Quite superb I must say and it doesn’t seem to call for water so let’s pass, for once
restaurant Palate
superb attack, thick yet very nervous and flavourful, on spicy jams and fruit juices. Blackberries and plums/prunes. Goes on with funny touches of icing sugar and even lemon juice that go very well with this kind of profile. No rancio or leathery notes here, it’s all fresh and very lively. Quite some cinnamon after that but the general profile remains very appealing. Rich and a little heavy but appealing
timer Finish
very, very long, leaving many spices, some mint, some lemon marmalade and wee tannins on your palate
