Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
this one has much more sherry, chocolate, prunes, fudge and fruitcake. Touches of gunpowder as well, also a little parsley. Gets rather herbal after a while, with even more parsley but also mint, sage… Also a faint mustiness (damp cellar). With water: gets very meaty this time. Cured ham and just touches of musk. Also quality soy sauce, very nice
restaurant Palate
very strange! A big, dry sherry with a feeling of saltiness and a lot of walnut liqueur and ultra-dry Madeira. Tobacco, strong tea (Russian style), cocoa powder… As I wrote, ultra-dry. With water: behaves well for one or two seconds, becomes too drying after that, and becomes very nice again once quite a lot of oranges and lemons have entered the dance. Fun!
timer Finish
same sequence, with the tannins and the lemons merging in the pleasant aftertaste
