Tasting Notes
Colour
deep mahogany
air Nose
beautiful! Lots of Turkish delight, rose jam and gewürztraminer. It really smells like an antiques shop. Develops on milk chocolate and smoked oysters, with also some pine resin, whiffs of camphor and fern. Wow, how complex!
restaurant Palate
too bad, the attack is very dry and tannic, with lots of notes of burnt wood and burnt caramel. It gets more and more bitter, and also curiously salty. A little unbalanced in fact – I guess almost forty years in a quarter cask might be a little too much and the grain didn’t really manage to prevent the whole from having gone over the hill. Especially the finish is very bitter – and again very salty. Yet, it’s not undrinkable at all and the nose was absolutely fabulous, so my rating will be quite good: 86 points . Midleton ‘Very Rare’ (40%, OB, Irish, bottled 1996)
