The Calling says let stand, fuck The Calling:
Nose: Heavy dark wine, rancio. Sage dipped in paxarette and doused with balsamic. Wine becomes a merlot from Rioja. Wine tasting in the cellar muff, is moved to a sweet shop as too cold in the cellar. A four-in-hand Landau rides by leisurely. On it someone in leather robes rolling cigars.
1h later: moss forest floor, Breitachklamm in autumn, a horde of extreme joggers jogging through. Dark juicy blackberry, baked apples doused with molasses, bakery at Christmas time - 5am.
Falling fruit fermenting away in the meadows in the Allgäu, silage. Or was the calling misinterpreted? Cows mooing nearby, but dare not come nearer.
Mouth 1 ½ h: Apple juice slightly fermenting, overripe fruit soaked in Rioja wine, 3 drops of rum, espresso, tingles on the tip of the tongue.
Finish: Oaky, tannins, French Press on the finish. Medium length.
Fifth sip: Family Bitter: Brussels sprouts, rocket, radicio, a pinch of nutmeg, 70% dark chocolate Ecuador Lidl 2283 kJ. Vanilla powder scattered on the Holi festival instead of colours. Cosy Christmas, four candles burning, fir tree fragrant. The oven is still warm.
2h: Some galia melon, knowingly bitten the way of the pomegranate, wherever that comes from. A Calling 🤔? Coffees flash through the palate like the last memories before death. Who knows, maybe death is just the beginning. Incomprehension and wonderment linger. What is the divine plan? Dates spread in the nose, the texture becomes oily.
4h The Calling points to water: 1 tsp.
Nose: clamp cellar no grain cold pressed but wine. On the road again in the forest, a sawmill on the way. What may have happened here? Pencil shavings snowing down.
Mouth: Refreshingly sweet sweets, mountain herbs, Ricola sage.
2 tsp water:
Nose: Oh, very restrained, misinterpreted. Only reminiscences of the aromas. Pleasant mild summer night somewhere in the mountains. Baking aromas.
Mouth: Bitterness withdraws. Slight sweetness, oily texture, caramel, malt, bread, 2 drops of lemon. Sugar grains flash through. Herbal decoction of herbs from monasteries - lowlands, wet climate, evangelical.
