Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber, so paler than the 1970
air Nose
a little more menthol again, which rather puts it in the 40 yo's ballpark, but there are also stunning whiffs of cedar wood, wild cigars (I mean fresh Cubans), earthy pu-ehr tea, a touch of bacon, Chinese fermented plum sauce, eucalyptus (a lot), camphor, Vick's, hessian, old cellar... All that. Fantastically profound
restaurant Palate
a wee prickly side for a start (Schweppes) and that's the oak talking, but before two seconds, we're drinking a liquid fruitcake sprinkled with crème de menthe and fir tar liqueur. Extremely good, perfectly balanced, rich and yet elegant, totally old-school... A beauty!
timer Finish
medium, fresh, with a little lemongrass and then more marmalade, Seville oranges... More mint again in the aftertaste
