Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
one of those youthful sherry casks that come with touches of young bourbon, surrounded by varnish and fresh vanilla, which then evolves into walnut wine, toffee, metal polish, sour cherries, potpourri, hawthorn, and Aperol. With water: chocolate, pipe tobacco, and new leather
restaurant Palate
it's powerful, bringing back that rather peppery and caramelised style reminiscent of certain vintages when they reached this age, the 1989s, the 1990s... And, while we're at it, let's mention three big boxes of Mon Chéri chocolates. With water: an unexpected saline touch joins the cracked pepper and chilli chocolate. That, my friends, is excellent
timer Finish
the sour cherries make a grand return, lingering for quite a while. Add three more boxes of Mon Chéri and a dash of black pepper in the aftertaste. There's also marmalade, which balances the whole affair
