Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
an older vintage and more tobacco-y notes, some moss, pine smoke, walnut cake and various waxes and oils. There's a dirtier side that would remind us of older officials, touches of balsamico, old sweet wine that went dry, so perhaps Madeira, some chocolate and some coffee, a touch of leather… So this one's less 'immediately immaculate' (well done S.) but this nose that's globally on cigars works very well too. Indeed, old-school Ben Nevis. With water: gets much gentler, almost cake-y. Quite some mead
restaurant Palate
this sour/sweet arrival with a lot of punch, then notes of curry and cigars, ham, plasticine, Szechuan pepper and even softer chilli, game, walnut wine, sweet mustard… With water: some salt barging in, cold bouillon, walnuts
timer Finish
rather long, salty, meaty, waxy, shoe-polishy… Loses one point at the aftertaste it leaves in your mouth because of some rather unwanted cardboard. Dura Lex, sed Lex
