Tasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
good, there’s no real death seat effect, this baby stands on its feet and does display the expected notes of sultanas, honey cake, rum baba and roasted pineapples. It’s all pretty lovely, especially the development on sweet herbal teas (some parts coming from the wood) such as honeysuckle and chamomile and then the marzipan and maple syrup. With water: some slightly sour wood spices are coming to the front but there’s also more mint – as usual, that’s true – and I like that
restaurant Palate
the oak’s a little louder this time, that is to say that the cinnamon strikes first, together with some heavy black tea and quite some nutmeg. The good news is that a beautiful combination of citrus fruits (both fresh and cooked) and mangos are still well alive in the background. With water: the fruits get revived. Swims very well on the palate
timer Finish
medium long, with good balance between the tea-ness and the honeyed fruits
