Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
Similarly earthy but this time more fragrant, more herbal and a tad more subtle. Towards chamomile, wildflowers, balsamic, rancio and walnut wine. Notes of hessian, salted dark chocolate, leaf mulch and tree bark. Quite beautiful. There is a meatiness as well but it’s more game and terrines. Some lemon balm and cough medicine emerge in time. With water: orange water, lemon cough drops, soot and a little glimmer of fresh barley
restaurant Palate
rich dark fruit syrups, hessian, chocolate, salted caramel sauce, truffle oil and caraway. Some sticky toffee pudding, muesli and mineral oil. Gets similarly leathery over time with notes of black tea, dried mint and honeycomb. With water: biscuity sweetness, hints of shortbread then a mushroomy note, more sootiness, camphor and a touch of old pinot noir
timer Finish
long, earthy, peppery, nicely tannic, black tea, lemon balm, cough medicine and raspberry wine
