Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 일렁인다. 코끝에 가져가면 애버라워다운 세컨드필 셰리의 건포도와 잘 익은 체리, 다크초콜릿 향이 풍성하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 14년 숙성한 셰리 버트의 진한 과실이 혀를 채우고 58.7도의 기운이 흑설탕과 향신료를 끌어올린다. 삼키고 나면 말린 과실과 가벼운 가죽이 입안에 따뜻하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
typical mix of old walnuts, some wee metallic touches, cakes, some meaty/savoury notes, then the expected chocolate and coffee, plus pipe tobacco and marmalade, naturally. Really a classic that never disappoint. With water: I’m a very good reducer (yeah right), apparently, since it got much nicer and very chocolaty. Grated raw cocoa over miso soup and very old balsamico. Hope we’ll find umami on the palate
restaurant Palate
a little hot and rough, but A’bunadh ought to be rough. I’m finding a lot of ginger and sawdust, some sour spices, pencil shavings, raw un-destemmed marc (Bourgogne)… Frankly it’s rather too aggressive when neat, on the other hand that’s almost part of the brief, is it not. With water: fruitier but still with quite a lot of ginger and sweet berries. Kirsch. A little dichotomous, the nose was much different, more on classic oloroso
timer Finish
rather long, with some leather. Bay leaves. Not always a huge fan of this kind of unfolding
