Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 앰버가 잔 속에 두껍게 고여 있다. 포트 캐스크라기보다 셰리에 가까운 인상으로, 코에서는 천연 타르와 가죽, 약초 비터와 다크 초콜릿이 겹치고 된장과 간장을 닮은 감칠맛이 그 사이를 파고든다. 52도의 입은 마르고 흙내 나는 힘으로 구운 견과와 호두 리큐어, 소고기 육수의 짠맛을 밀어낸다. 여운은 길고 잎사귀처럼 쌉쌀하며 마른 해초와 캠퍼의 서늘함이 끝까지 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
big, unctuous and rather beefy in style that blind I would just have said was sherry rather than obviously port. Goes on with natural tar, leather, herbal bitters, dark chocolate and wee hints of miso and soy sauce. I really love this style, but you need a serious appetite and a knife and fork to tackle it. Even begins to show notes of marmite on brown toast, ancient Fernet Branca, English mustard and Bovril. Suspect you could make a terrific meat pie using this as a base for the stock. With water: heather ales, fresh pumpernickel bread, pumpkinseed oil, meat gravy, rancio, game meats and more natural and soft tarry notes
restaurant Palate
yes! Big, powerful, lean, earthy, drying and meaty. Port doing an impression of sherry once again. Lots of roasted nuts, walnut liqueur, herbal tonics, old school cough medicines, winter spices, natural tar, beef stock, bouillon and black miso. Feels like this was captured just at the right moment. With water: this impression of bitter herbs becomes more heightened, there’s also more lean, leathery aspects, more meats, cocktail bitters, tar, soot, canvass, putty, bitter citrus piths and aged black teas
timer Finish
long, leafy, herbal, nicely bitter, subtly meaty and with, hessian, dried seaweed, heather and camphor
