Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
opens really enticingly on mineral oils, gun flints, metal polish and oily rags. An earthy, gravelly, rich minerality follows on. Then you get this twin prong of sandalwood and a very eloquent herbal aspect. Some savoury pastries, cured meats, sweet raisins, cough medicine and a touch of balsamic. Rather sooty and punchy as well with these notes of peppery grilled steak. Very good though. With water: notes of gravy, dried cranberry, soft herbal qualities and plasticine. Overall softer and more earthy but still with this slightly sooty, meaty sherry aspect
restaurant Palate
heavy and fatty in style again. More metallic notes, cooked ham, graphite oil, carbon paper, old ink, slightly tarry, more notes of ointment and almost antiseptic. Again this gravelly earthiness on top of orange peel, sweaty waxiness and some beef stock. With water: on one had you have this sweetness in the form of dried berry fruits, on the other this earthy, slightly flabby, oily, salty and meaty qualities. Notes of bovril and vegetable stock. More pencil graphite as well
timer Finish
Long, meaty, rubbery, earthy, oily and with some drying hessian cloth notes
