Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
copper
air Nose
a rather lean and sinewed sherry profile. Light notes of damp leaves, toasted almond flakes, hints of mushroom powder, lemon pith and a few pieces of crisp pancetta. Develops towards a deeper, bassier earthiness. Pine cones, leaf mulch, walnut oil, mineral aspects and cola cubes. Very good but overall a tad shy perhaps, not that modesty is a flaw by any means
restaurant Palate
a more textbook profile of raisins and sultanas in old cognac, black pepper, strong tea, mint liqueur, caraway, red liquorice, cola syrup, cocktail bitters and aniseed. Excellent balance and a good strength that delivers texture and flavour very well. Salty almonds, muesli, toffee and salted caramel ice cream
timer Finish
long, spicy, peppery, bitter chocolate, mint, cough medicine and lemon balm
