Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
almost pungent. Lots of strange aromas, cabbage, sauerkraut. Some sherry but not an elegant one, that’s for sure. Notes of praline and ‘chemical’ vanilla
restaurant Palate
again, it’s quite overpowering. Notes of distillation, still, eau de vie. Gets very grainy and ‘bacterial’ (gym socks). It gets a bit better with water but remains very grainy and aromatically simple. Well… 68 points . August 5, 2005 MUSIC – Recommended listening: well-known Anglo-French band Stereolab plays Modular.mp3 , a most enjoyable mix of retro riffs and modern sounds. Archi-lounge? Pedantic pop? Maybe but I like it - and the singer, she izzuh Frenchuh! ;-) Please buy Stereolab's music if you like it as well...
