Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
I had expected some kind of fruity and floral extravaganza but not at all, it’s rather bizarrely cheesy and cardboardy at first nosing, with hints of cooked asparagus and maybe even truffles. Mercaptan? Let’s let this baby breathe a bit… (after fifteen minutes) Yes, that worked, it became appropriately jammy and fruity. Butterscotch, fruit salad and honey, pomegranates… What a transformation! No more mercaptan. Lovely. With water: even more so. All these ‘Western’ fruits plus touches of hay, beeswax, honeycomb and all that… Almost a wonder now
restaurant Palate
bizarre again. On the one side, there’s this very zesty profile, with a lot of orange juice, but on the other side there’s something bizarrely chemical (canned orange juice, liquorice allsorts, jell-o). Quite some green oak as well, maybe it’s the culprit, let’s wee… With water: not much changes. Maybe a little marmalade but these ‘chemical’ oranges remain there
timer Finish
medium long, with more zesty spices, coriander, cardamom seeds…
