Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
quite vibrant and fresh at first nosing, with lots of roasted nuts and praline in the background. Lots of vanilla crème and fresh butter as well as a little wood smoke. Other than that it’s a little harsh, oaky and spirity, so maybe water is needed here. With water: yes, that worked, it got rounder and softer, more beautifully honeyed and floral (nectar), with also quite some beeswax and pollen as well as dried fruits (dates). Elegant!
restaurant Palate
very sweet and very fruity, on lemon drops, tangerines, oranges, light caramel and light honey plus a little oak but not too much. Much more drinkable than noseable at full strength but not very complicated. Quite some liquorice, cloves, gingerbread… It’s good but not especially thrilling on the palate. With a little water now: well, it doesn’t whange much – maybe a little more liquoricy and salty. Good, rather long finish on the latter flavours and quite some tannins and oak now. Great nose, especially with water, and a good palate. 86 points . Pulteney 1990/2006 (59%, Gordon & MacPhail, Cask Series, sherry butt #5469)
