Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 점토와 밀랍, 분필 같은 마른 광물 냄새가 먼저 인사하고 그 아래로 부드러운 이탄 연기가 깔린다. 조금 더 돌리면 멜론과 파파야, 금귤 같은 과일이 층을 이루며 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 시럽처럼 미끈한 질감이 입천장을 천천히 덮고 소금기와 감귤 껍질, 약재 같은 기운이 뒤따른다. 삼킨 뒤에는 후추와 레몬, 광물성 여운이 길게 이어져 뉴질랜드 피노 누아 피니시의 흔적을 되짚게 한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw (I’ve seen darker vattings of this at the same ABV and from roughly the same era so there must be a few variants out there)
air Nose
what’s funny is how close we are to the 1992. We’re still in this maelstrom of clays, waxes, putty, chalk, beach pebbles, ink and soft peat. Only here there’s a more focused and concentrated layer of exotic fruits draped over everything. Things like melon, papaya, mango and kumquat
restaurant Palate
starts surprisingly soft but then builds beautifully. Syrupy, slightly greasy, oily and fat in texture. Salty, waxy, some citrus peels, chalk and again this rather punchy medical quality. Brilliant distillate!
timer Finish
long, peppery, lemony, medical, chalky, waxy and nicely mineral
