Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
the colour suggests a heavy sherry monster but it isn’t at all, it’s rather an elegant and very fresh Longmorn that, indeed, displays a ‘sherryness’ but that’s otherwise all on stewed fruits, flowers and honey. Granted, there are notes of dried figs and dates as well as a little milk chocolate but again, it’s rather ethereal and beautifully so. Becomes more and more complex with a little breathing, with touches of leather, chestnuts, raspberry jam, roasted nuts, coffee and ripe blood oranges. A delicate old Longmorn
restaurant Palate
more oomph now and an attack all on a mixture of chocolate and fruit jams. Ganache and Christmas truffles, definitely. Quite bizarrely, it’s less complex than on the nose and maybe even a little monodimensional. The oranges are back as well, that is, and the chocolaty notes never stop getting bigger. Good mouth feel, not ‘thick’ but with good presence
timer Finish
medium long, on jams, jams and jelly. Raspberry jam rules it
