Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 석탄 연기와 화약, 부싯돌의 광물성이 가장 먼저 두드러지고 그 위로 오래된 소테른을 닮은 단맛이 스친다. 훈제 햄과 송로버섯, 바다 내음이 이어지며 박하와 젖은 이끼, 시가 박스로 오래 발전한다. 팰럿은 유칼립투스와 캠퍼, 박하의 약초 계열이 정면에 나서고 생강과 절인 레몬, 후추가 55.1도의 힘을 타고 밀려온다. 버번 오크의 타닌은 배경에 머문다. 피니시는 길고 짭짤하며 오렌지와 박하가 반씩 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the first feeling we get at first nosing is complexity. First there’s hints of old sweet wine (Sauternes) and then it’s coal smoke, gunpowder and flints, together with notes of smoked ham and faint hints of truffle. Gets then even smokier, with a little peat, something faintly maritime (sea breeze), roasted nuts, a little cough syrup (eucalyptus), hints of pine needles... More mint after that, wet moss, fern, cigar box… Keeps developing for a very long time, quite kaleidoscopic, with the notes of coal smoke and mint as permanent features. Amazing complexity. With water: keeps developing, this time more on turpentine and game, with even hints of beef stock
restaurant Palate
very big, rich, powerful, exactly cough syrup this time. Eucalyptus, camphor, mint, then ginger, crystallised lemon, pepper… Hints of tannins in the background, and quite some tar as well. Very big. With water: gets more on oranges and other citrus fruits, with a bigger spiciness as well
timer Finish
long, slightly salty, half orangey and half minty. Slight dryness from the wood
