Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
포트 파이프에서 13년을 보낸 이 우드 익스프레션은 장밋빛 호박색부터 캐스크의 개입을 예고한다. 노즈는 검은 과일과 자두 소스, 설타나와 마데이라 케이크로 시작해 물을 더하면 야생 딸기와 구운 바나나, 유칼립투스로 발전한다. 팰럿은 초반에 잼처럼 달아 다소 늘어지지만 가수하면 붉은 과일과 쐐기풀 차로 균형이 잡히고 옅은 붕대 뉘앙스가 피트의 흔적을 알린다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 붉은 과일차와 감초가 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rose-amber
air Nose
the port wood definitely has a louder voice here than the rum did in the previous Springbank. Which I feel actually works in this instance so far, it's rather sticky with dark fruits, plum sauce, sultanas, Madeira cake and things like red berry fruits and sweet children's cough medicines. With water: wild strawberries, baked bananas, cherry lip gloss and a little eucalyptus - very lovely actually
restaurant Palate
a little too jammy on arrival for me, moves more into the territory of wine finishes than port in some respects with these notes of shiraz, strawberry jam and balsamic onion. Juicy but a bit flabby in texture and not quite sure of itself. With water: much better! Loses this overtly jammy side and becomes a bit more balanced displays this nice mix of red fruits, sultanas, bramble leaf and nettle tea. One stray bandage reminds us there was once some peat involved here
timer Finish
medium and rather sweet, on red fruit teas, jams, fruit cordials and liquorice
