Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
whah again! But this time it's very different, it's a very grassy one, with hay and oils (maybe sunflower and such), then many beers, ales, herbs and leaves. A lot of fresh putty is arising too, marzipan, wet paint and then a dry spice mix, a little oriental (whatever that means). It's not easy at all but it's very intriguing. Water is needed. With water: phew, it became kind of cooler and gentler, but remains very grassy. Some fresh butter too, hay, a little earth, fresh walnuts... Remains austere but pleasantly so
restaurant Palate
ha! Very singular, very powerful, starting with very heavy notes of pepper, ginger and cumin. French oak, by any chance? It's actually very bitter, just like some successful liqueurs are bitter (the infernal trio Unicum, Jaegermeister, Underberg). Heavy citrus too. Quite extreme so far, let's see what water does to it again. With water: lemon up, resins down but it remains resinous. Fortified retsina wine? This is amusing because the colour is light, so this cannot be high oak extraction, can it? But yeah, its gentler when watered down. Also nice honeydew, liquorice wood
timer Finish
long and, good news, rather smoother. No feeling of 'heavy chlorophyll' that kills your palate - because mind you, we have a glory yet to taste!
