Tasting Notes
Nose |
Adelphi: Very complex on the nose: lemon oils, blackcurrants, sage and rosemary, aniseed and a little eucalyptus. The oils become more machine like with a little varnished camphor wood, peppered raisins coated in toffee, some hessian and fresh cherries. It remains mentholated throughout. |
Taste |
Adelphi: Immediately rich, almost Cognac-like, then desert wines: Muscat and Benedictine. Cough drops, herbal with sweet chocolate notes, becoming increasingly fragrant. |
Finish |
Adelphi: The finish is suprisingly long, with a definite hint of smoke, and smooth and nutty nougat lingering. |
