April 22, 2016 - Opened. 22nd, evening.
Color. Golden honey
Nose. Honeycomb, orange marmalade, apricots in alcohol, stewed peaches. After a few minutes, hints of cream and linden leaves.
Palate. Upon opening, closed, alcohol. Slowly some weight comes through and oiliness.
23rd, midday.
Nose. Honey, linden, very matured orange, cooked peaches. Very little change in glass poured the night before. Maybe a drop of saffron.
Palate. Alcohol has subsided in glass poured night before. Light oiliness, bitter almonds, hint of stone fruit, lingering finish with hints of fruit. As if in a glass of water there were a few drops of stone fruit juice, and it lingers.
Poured from the glass. Nose. Little alcohol, oxidative notes, plums in alcohol.
Palate. Acidic, unripe nefle, bitterness in the finish.2,832 views
