Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 올드 마데이라 같은 와인 뉘앙스와 옅은 화약 향으로 열려 셰리의 존재를 암시한다. 논칠필터드 아벨라워 12년답게 흙내음과 잘 익은 살구, 블랙베리 잼이 점점 생기 있게 발전한다. 팰럿은 48도에서 초콜릿과 커피, 오렌지 마멀레이드가 두껍게 입을 채운다. 옅은 압생트와 회향, 가죽과 정향이 더해져 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 초콜릿이 지배하고 오렌지가 여운으로 남는다.
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
