Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
adios. Far oilier, thicker even on the nose, camphory yet less peaty—though that may simply be the wear and tear of time—certainly peppery (a constant), and much more on cooked fruit, including exotics. Even after over fifty years in bottle, it still packs an almighty punch! With water: it tightens up marvellously, all on waxed cloth and old oil cans gathering dust at the back of the garage—or if you prefer, ‘vintage British car’, the connoisseurs will get the picture
restaurant Palate
an incredible maelstrom of all sorts of things, spices, pepper, oysters, bananas, cough syrup, liquorice, camphor, mint, sloe, olive oil, pine honeydew, tar, smoked fish, pipe tobacco, and heaven knows what else. Wow wow wow. With water: it’s like a very old Sauternes from a highly botrytised year
timer Finish
alas
