Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark red amber
air Nose
holy featherless crow! We have yet another style, this time it’s revolving around cigars and cedar wood, porcinis, earth, peat smoke (wee whiffs) and Spanish ham (bellota and stuff). The smokiness keeps growing bigger, we’re even going towards exhaust fumes, while there are even more mushrooms as well (dried morels spring to mind and I’m not making this up). Fantastic nose
restaurant Palate
we’re pretty closer to the 1960, with a feeling of ginger and bitter oranges. It’s probably not as magnificent as its most magnificent nose but I quite love these notes of old orange liqueurs mixed with ham again. Prunes and cured ham, then something slightly metallic that’s often to be found in these old ‘black dumpies’
timer Finish
medium long, a tad drying now. White pepper, bacon, grapes, prunes. Chocolaty aftertaste
