Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 꿀과 캐러멜 향이 먼저 잔 밖으로 새어 나온다. 코를 가져가면 코코넛 밀크와 무른 사과가 열리고 고사리와 이끼 같은 초록빛 냄새, 젖은 분필이 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 51.1도가 사이다와 구운 과자, 쓴 캐러멜을 차례로 내놓고 카모마일 같은 마른 쓴맛으로 마무리를 준비한다. 삼키면 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 옅은 연기가 다시 살아난다. 1991년 셰리 캐스크에서 14년을 보낸 이 보틀링은 단맛보다 마른 결이 앞선다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
lots of light honey and caramel at first nosing, very delicate and elegant. Goes on with coconut milk and overripe apples, getting then quite vegetal (nice notes of fern and moss) and buttery at the same time. Something earthy as well, maybe a little porridge, vanilla fudge, wet chalk… and finally some bold notes of strawberries together with a little smoke. Very good, let’s see how it behaves on the palate…
restaurant Palate
maybe it lacks a little thickness and body but otherwise it’s got quite a presence, with sweet cider, pastries, bitter caramel, the whole getting alas a little too tea-ish (camomile), dry and slightly bitter. It’s good but it probably went over the hill while in its bottle… Good news, it takes off again at the finish, with more oomph, on crystallized oranges, quince, camomile and something smoky… It’s still a very good one again. 85 points .
