Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
cigars and peonies, then blood oranges and earth. It’s not too raisiny, great news. Notes of very old Port, and Banyuls. That’s the PX speaking out. With water: wonderful earth, damp old barrels forgotten in a corner, soy sauce, lovage, ‘wild’ cigars… This is perfect
restaurant Palate
very rich, thick, sweet, right between pure PX and malt whisky. Plenty of liqueur-filled milk chocolate, raisins, Sauternes, then roasted nuts of various sorts and just a touch of bitter orange and green tobacco. Very sweet, but very excellent. With water: hurray, the herbs come out. Grapefruit skin, grass, white currants, bitter oranges… There’s a lovely sour bitterness as well
timer Finish
long, with more ‘green’ oak. That really gives it a grassy sour bitterness, but I’m not against this style
