Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
salmony
air Nose
a kind of earthy maltiness, with indeed notes of wine – as in grape wine – and probably notes of freshly squeezed oranges. I’m not sure I’m getting the pomegranates, but I’m not an expert (note to self, try to find pomegranate wine). With water: I seem to be finding pomegranates, blood oranges, some cigarette tobacco and probably a little hops and Himalaya pepper
restaurant Palate
I find this very good, dry, earthy, a little rustic, with herbal and rubbery notes that are absolutely not unpleasant, even if this baby does display quite some pepper and seems to be willing to gently bite your tongue as soon as the opportunity arises. With water: barley, beer, malt, hops, tobacco and leaves coming out. Bitter grapefruits and pink pepper in the background, perhaps a little grenadine. That’s the pomegranate, no?
timer Finish
sameish. Good length
