Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather hot and rough at first, with bay leaves, cherry stems, green peppercorn, green walnuts, a little shoe polish, apple peelings… Gears towards almonds after that, but it's still relatively rustic. With water: completely different, much more on beeswax, marmalade, quince jelly and peanut cream. Orgeat. Wonderful once reduced
restaurant Palate
much fuller on the palate than on the nose when undiluted, but this time green spices are running the show. Biting lemon zests, bitters, green pears, green pepper again, fresh turmeric and ginger… This green biting side is pretty unusual, but once again, let's see what water will do to it. Btw it's feels more powerful that 'just' 51% vol. With water: once again water really improves it, with many more oranges appearing, including bitter ones, and bags of walnuts. Amaretti, young bone-dry oloroso
timer Finish
pretty long, with fruit stones and kernels. Something kirschy. Bitter almonds and orange zests in the aftertaste
