Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
honey indeed, and Weetabix, Golden Grahams, Kellogg’s best, then tarte tatin and maple syrup. Gets then very brioche-y, which is great. Custard. We’re actually close to the well-aged officials, which I always enjoyed a lot. Great nose, very classic. With water: gums, Haribo’s best (say crocodiles), jams, acacia honey…
restaurant Palate
super-good! Brighter and fruitier than the OBs this time, and above all, ridden with pineapples. As jams, jellies, tinned, liqueurs, syrups, whatever. This is extremely spectacular, but of course you need to enjoy pineapples. Oh and it’s not quite ‘pineapple from youth’ (what’s that molecule again? Ah yes, methyl butanoate). With water: totally excellent, with a perfect balance, an entrancing fruitiness and no excesses. In other words, the pineapples calmed down
timer Finish
medium, jammy, with some vanilla, some honey, and a tiny cup of cappuccino
