Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
디어 프렌즈 시리즈로 나온 이 14년은 노즈에서 옅은 꿀과 캐러멜의 섬세한 단맛이 먼저 드러난다. 코코넛 밀크와 무르익은 사과가 뒤를 잇고 고사리와 이끼, 젖은 분필과 바닐라 퍼지가 층을 더하며 딸기와 옅은 훈연이 스친다. 팰럿은 51.1도의 도수에 비해 바디가 두껍지 않고 사과주와 페이스트리, 쌉쌀한 캐러멜을 지나 캐모마일 차의 건조함으로 흐른다. 피니시에서 다시 힘을 얻어 절인 오렌지와 모과가 또렷하게 발전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
lots of light honey and caramel at first nosing, very delicate and elegant. Goes on with coconut milk and overripe apples, getting then quite vegetal (nice notes of fern and moss) and buttery at the same time. Something earthy as well, maybe a little porridge, vanilla fudge, wet chalk… and finally some bold notes of strawberries together with a little smoke. Very good, let’s see how it behaves on the palate…
restaurant Palate
maybe it lacks a little thickness and body but otherwise it’s got quite a presence, with sweet cider, pastries, bitter caramel, the whole getting alas a little too tea-ish (camomile), dry and slightly bitter. It’s good but it probably went over the hill while in its bottle… Good news, it takes off again at the finish, with more oomph, on crystallized oranges, quince, camomile and something smoky… It’s still a very good one again. 85 points .
