Tasting Notes

Colour

dark amber

air Nose

big, starting right on whiffs of rubber (bicycle inner tube) and struck matches, then more blackcurrant bus and various herbal teas as well as a little chocolate and raisins. Quite some sulphur, actually. It’s also rather winey. After 15 minutes: more balsamico, lovage and soy sauce. Less sulphur. With water: all on old vinegar and rancio now. Maggi. Quite spectacular but you have to like this kind of decoction

restaurant Palate

very rich, thick, with a lot of sherry, bitter oranges, tannins, pepper and ginger. Bites your tongue a bit. With water: extremely powerful, even when reduced down to 40%. What a beast! Huge pepper notes

timer Finish

very long, with a lot of lemon this time as well as some herbal tea. Big cinnamon and pepper in the aftertaste. A lot of lemon in the aftertaste
