Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

there is a wine-iness indeed, around stems and buds (peonies?), as well as an earthy fruitiness. It’s funny that we’re rather feeling red wine (90% of the red wine finishings don’t work IMHO, but 10% do). Mulled wine, earthy fruits... With water: rather more natural – that is to say maltier

restaurant Palate

crikey, another one that’s pretty good! A spicy and peppery arrival, then plenty of walnuts, which suggests that this was a dry Madeira. Bitter oranges and leather. With water: excellent balance. Grapefruits, ginger, and walnuts

timer Finish

pretty long, on the same notes. Thyme in the aftertaste?
