Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (lighter than #67)
air Nose
less classic sherry, more greener walnuts, hay, herbs, sesame oil, herbal tea… It's almost as if they had refilled some butts with this batch, but I'm not saying this is not a style that I enjoy as well, on the contrary. But it is a little strong… With water: hold on, wax? Lemons? White asparagus? Like this a lot, but I wouldn't have said 'A'bunadh'. I suppose that's the whole point of doing batch bottlings…
restaurant Palate
very good, really tight, grassy, tart, almost acidic, with a lot of concentrated lemon juice. It's hard to believe this was sherry, unless it was fino or manzanilla. But the walnuts give it away. With water: closer to #67 but still tighter, brighter yet, zestier… Inadvertently biting into some grapefruit (late in the night and after a few drams too many, obviously)
timer Finish
terrific, zesty, even refreshing. I promise I won't mention Sancerre again (tsk-tsk)
