Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

starts on full orangey mode (marmalade, dried ones), with also a most pleasant flintiness. Gets then both fruitier (more small red fruits) and peppery (big whiffs of freshly ground black pepper), with also a little leather and tobacco. Keeps developing for a long time, getting then beautifully waxy and leafy. This one needs time, as it started rather simply but got then wonderful. Say 15 minutes min!

restaurant Palate

goody good attack, once again maybe not extremely complex but the combination of fruit jams and spices is most enjoyable. Peppered strawberries? Other than that we have, at random: ginger, cloves, blackberry jelly, Seville oranges, fresh walnuts, tea, other spices and herbs… Excellent

timer Finish

rather long, maybe a tad simpler and more on burnt fruits (raisins on a cake) but still excellent
