Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
roses! I’m joking, that would rather be various honeys, pollen, stewed apples, sponge cake (with a nod to The Sponge), then some interesting notes of half-burnt chocolate cake, and perhaps simply toasted oak. So far, so very nice. With water: superb, with some Barbour grease, damp earth, saltpetre, and a large chunk of honey and hazelnut cake. In short, a great cake straight from your oven, covered with earth. It really is a perfect nose
restaurant Palate
excellent. Starts malty and chocolaty, and goes more towards oranges and mint after that. A development that’s perfectly perfect. With water: swims very well. Earth up, cake slightly down. Balance is tops
timer Finish
long and, as often, rather grassier. Perhaps a little green oak in the aftertaste
