Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

starts with some big earthy notes, mushrooms, damp cellar and quite some leather, which is quite different from the 1989 that was fruitier and kind of easier. Quite some walnuts as well in this one, flor, cigar tobacco, shoe polish… And always this earthiness. With water: more on all that plus more liquorice wood, roots, gentian, green cigars (like they have in Indonesia, their smell is very, well, peculiar).While we’re in Indonesia, there’s also quite some cloves. All that is very appealing if you like fino-like profiles

restaurant Palate

rich, creamy, with high oak extraction (ginger, mustard, pepper, curry) and some playful notes of bitter oranges and kumquats coming more and more to the front while it remains very oaky globally. In other words, kind of green (so what?) With water: even oakier. Tea, pepper and cinnamon and just touches of vanilla plus a peatiness that arrives. Peppery peat? Some mustard as well, or dare I mention wasabi?

timer Finish

long, maybe a tiny-wee bit sweeter but always very spicy
