Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 셰리에서 비롯된 와인 풍의 향과 화약 뉘앙스가 먼저 두드러지다가 흙내와 버섯, 잘 익은 살구, 따뜻한 애플파이로 발전하며 점차 생기를 더한다. 베르가못과 얼그레이도 비친다. 팰럿은 초콜릿과 커피가 도드라지고 마멀레이드와 금귤의 오렌지 풍미가 또렷하게 이어지며 48도 논칠필터답게 질감이 단단하다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 초콜릿과 오렌지 여운이 깊게 머문다. 아벨라워 12년의 우아한 셰리 복합미가 명확하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
starts quite winey (old Madeira) and with traces of gunpowder, so there’s probably quite some sherry involved. The good news is that all that tends to vanish while more earthy and even mushroomy touches arise. I also get some spearmint, honeydew, then ripe apricots, warm apple pie, liquorice, blackberry jam and just touches of Williams pears… It just wouldn’t stop improving and becoming more lively, given you give it a little time. Also bergamots, earl grey… A very elegant nose!
restaurant Palate
maybe not as bold as expected but it’s very nicely chocolaty and coffee-ish. I also enjoy all these orangey notes a lot, there’s some marmalade, kumquats, then even touches of absinth and fennel. Medium oak, a little leather, cloves… All good
timer Finish
medium, all on chocolate this time, with the oranges more in the aftertaste
