Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
금빛이 잔에 맑게 담기고 포트의 흔적은 향에서 거의 감지되지 않는다. 대신 기름진 왁스와 부순 백악, 이탈리아식 레몬 소스의 산뜻함이 앞서고 풋사과와 갓 바른 회벽, 그을음이 뒤를 받친다. 53.7도의 입은 날카롭고 광물적이며 붕대 같은 약내와 레몬의 신맛, 효모의 시큼함이 함께 밀려온다. 여운은 길고 깨끗하다. 레몬과 기름, 분필의 결만 남기고 담백하게 물러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
no obvious Port, almost no Port at all, actually, rather this impeccable waxy greasiness and these whiffs of crushed chalk and Italian lemon sauce that are so marvellous. Some green apples too, fresh plaster, soot, mouldy old wine cellar, and very old lager beer (please don’t drink it). With water: mud, plaster, yogurt, plasticine, new sneakers. Like, the stupidest Nikes
restaurant Palate
pungent, ultra-fresh, bandage-y, mineral, lemony, and rather sour, yeasty, almost bacterial. Not consensual malt whisky for sure, but boy do we love this! With water: lemon juice, grass juice, crushed chalk, paraffin. All very basic ingredients, I agree. As my dear mother used to say about wine, why pay hundreds then? She was right!
timer Finish
rather long, clean, lemony, oily, chalky
