Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
rosewood - a notch darker
air Nose
very similar profile, only here I find some more dried flowers and suggestions of pot pourri, also things like Cheng Pi (Chinese aged orange peels), bergamot, canvass and a firmer earthiness that would incorporate hessian and wine cellar mulch. Also excellent and to my nose also a sherry cask if you ask me. With water: becomes nicely mossy, mulchy, leafy, wet bracken, tobacco pouches, walnuts and fruit loaf
restaurant Palate
good attack, lots of firm but clean oak spices, dark chocolate, walnuts, aniseed, cough mixtures, herbal extracts, this impression once again of mixed cocktail bitters with various manifestations of cherry going on. Pu erh tea, liquorice and dark fruit chutneys. With water: the spices and bitter chocolate tones are elevated, more bitter herbal extracts, more walnuts and more dry earthiness
timer Finish
long, slightly gamey, leathery, bitter herbs, chocolate, herbal cough mixtures. Excellent!
