Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bang, gunpowder and struck matches all over the place. Distinct sulphur – and I’m not the kind of guy who finds sulphur just anywhere – although we’re not on hard-boiled eggs. But black truffles, yes! Then smoked ham, earth (akin to sulphur indeed in this context) and tin box. Burnt sugar, artichokes. With water: yeah well, I have this feeling of old floor cloth now… Mould, mushrooms…
restaurant Palate
the sulphury tones can be a problem on the nose, but not on the palate. In fact this is nice, very candied, raisiny, toffee-ed without being over-sweet, with also dried dates and figs, some sweet coffee, touches of liquorice and lavender sweets… With water: more candy sugar, caramel, praline… Nice
timer Finish
quite long, on coffee cake. Something bitterly mineral in the aftertaste
