Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 니스 같은 뉘앙스와 금속성 광물감이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 자몽과 레몬이 뒤를 잇는다. 1999년 지역 보리로 만든 원액을 버번 80퍼센트와 셰리 20퍼센트로 나눠 숙성해 2016년 54.3도로 병입한 로컬 발리다. 팰럿은 날카롭고 그을음이 강하며 시트러스의 산과 광물성이 정확히 맞물린다. 풀 향은 스페인 화이트 와인을 떠올리게 한다. 피니시는 길고 레몬과 재, 요오드 같은 약재가 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
same family, and that’s very obvious on the nose, even if this one has a bit of varnish, possibly from the higher strength. Similar metallic/mineral profile, with perhaps a little more grapefruit and lemon, but the soot and ashes are well there. The shoe polish as well. With water: takes water extremely well. In other words, more quality shoe polish ;-)
restaurant Palate
this is really very good, and totally up my alley. Sharp, sooty, very zesty, slightly pungent, with a perfect minerality and a grassy side that reminds me a bit of that Spanish white wine that can be very good (and sometimes awful, to be honest), verdejo. With water: oh yes it swims well. Perfect lemon, soot, paraffin (the good side of paraffin), ashes… What it’s not quite got, and which was in the 1978, is salt
timer Finish
long, lemony, grassy, and sooty. In other words, perfect. A medicinal side in the aftertaste (iodine, antiseptic)
