Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

much more happening than expected as far as both the profile and the ‘power’ are concerned. Very aromatic, with some rather bold notes of sweet white wine, candied apricots, caramel and ham. Meaty and jammy, developing with lots of praline, nougat and caramel as well lots of honey… Somewhat old style, rather rich and lush. What’s more, the meatiness grows bolder by the minute, with also a discreet soapiness in the background. Gets even a little too ‘thick’, as if somebody would have added concentrated wine and fruit juice – which is obviously not the case. Other than that it keeps developing on lots of tea (pu-erh, with that nice dustiness)

restaurant Palate

okay, it’s not as bold as on the nose but not weak, nor even weakish. Extremely caramelly and jammy again, now on fruitcake, plum jam, nougat, quite mellow in fact. Goes on with almonds, then bitter almonds, getting then much more bitter but in a rather nice way. The fruitiness vanishes towards the finish, which isn’t too long but with a returning meatiness and a pleasant dryness. A very good one, no doubt, but I’d have loved to try it at 45% or more. 85 points . Isle of Jura 1999 ‘Heavy Peated Edition’ (58%, OB for LMDW France , 40ppm, 2006)
