Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I would guess that many 'new' first fill sherries are light in colour because the casks had been seasoned with some very young wine, which was pale in colour in the first place. In truth this is a pretty leafy sherry, with a very moderate raisinness but on the other hand, there's some very nice caramel and notes of stolle and pumpernickel, so something rather Germanic. Other than that, it's also all on spicy herbal teas with a little honey. The kind that would cure just anything. With water: more of the same plus some stout
restaurant Palate
more of those spicy herbal teas that would cure just anything, with even more honey, also ginger and lemon tea. With water: coffee and chocolate, then more spicy grasses and more stout. Half a pint of Guinness (don't Pernod own a brand too? Have to check that…)
timer Finish
rather long, leafier and really spicy. Walnut wine with rather a lot of ginger and nutmeg, Seville oranges in the aftertaste
