Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

aha, another planet ;-). Stewed fruits, toffee, tobacco (both Virginia and Havana), prunes, glazed chestnuts, balsamic vinegar, game, tar… With water: old balsamic vinegar all over the place. You have to like that, I must say

restaurant Palate

extremely rich, thick and amazingly, say, oriental. Huge notes of old pu-erh tea, smoked ‘things’, roasted nuts (cashews), bergamots and kumquats. Also hints of toasted bread, maybe burnt caramel… With water: right, not only balsamic vinegar. I also get some Comté cheese, salty liquorice, something like… rhubarb? No, I didn’t smoke the carpet

timer Finish

long, a tad more, say quietened. Bitter oranges, Brussels sprouts and burnt caramel
