Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
powerful and maybe a tad spirity at first nosing. Rather ‘neutral’ at first, but gets then rather delicately flowery (maybe hints of roses – but very faint – or maybe none at all ;-)). Other than that it’s all on oat, porridge, mashed potatoes, ripe apples and vanilla. Hints of freshly sawn oak. Water should help here… With water: some wood smoke comes out, as well as a little green tea. Very nice ‘natural’ nose
restaurant Palate
sweet, almost sugary, rather powerful, with an attack mostly on apple compote, ginger and white pepper. Slightly green tannins (apple peeling). With water: now it’s very candied, rounded yet nervous, with notes of liquorice allsorts, crystallised oranges and honey. Very good
timer Finish
long, candied, with the spices in the background. Crystallised oranges spiced up with ginger and pepper
