Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
rather brandyish with these initial notes of young cognac, some hedgerow earthiness, a little greenery such as grass and nettles and getting rounder and gentler with emerging notes of sultana and cocoa. Some pithy lemon notes and eventually more typical notes of seed breads and cereals. With water: much more toasty, bready and cereal driven now. Things like popcorn, sunflower seeds and a slight but very lovely touch of lychee
restaurant Palate
white chocolate, some runny honey, hints of damson jam, mead, buttered toast and some pollens and floral notes. Indeed, it’s these more fragrant aspects such as meadow flowers, chamomile and chopped herbs which develop more over time. With water: works well! Water brings out more of these toasty, lightly citrus and cereal tones. Some more greenery, a little lamp oil and boot polish and some berry fruits
timer Finish
good length, some tiny hints of rubber but otherwise clean, earthy, slightly raisiny, toasty and getting increasingly meaty
