Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s not an ueberfruity Tomatin such as the old ones that we enjoy so much, it’s rather an austere one, grassy and vegetal, that displays unexpected notes of vegetables such as artichokes or asparagus beyond quite some vanilla. I know that sounds unlikely but it’s actually very nice, not only because it’s ‘different’. Very straight grassiness. With water: becomes extremely flinty, almost chalky. Whiffs of leaven, then fresh parsley. Again, quite unusual but I like this a lot
restaurant Palate
much more sweetness than in the nose and a great creaminess. Coconut, vanilla, marzipan, sap, black raisins (suggests sherry)… All good! With water: gets slightly thinner but the profile is quite perfect, more or less on the same notes than when undiluted
timer Finish
medium long, with hints of ginger and nutmeg that suggest rather active American oak
