Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
발데스피노 올로로소 캐스크에서 16년을 보낸 만큼 노즈의 밀도가 상당하다. 카시스와 블랙베리 젤리의 짙은 과실향이 먼저 두드러지고 담배와 커피, 감초가 뒤를 받친다. 46도라는 도수가 무색할 만큼 팰럿은 두껍고 농축되어 있으며 조린 와인과 진한 잼, 오래 우린 홍차의 떫은맛이 이어진다. 우드 추출이 극단까지 간 스타일이라 호불호가 갈릴 수 있다. 피니시는 길고 묵직하며 감초 뿌리와 진한 차가 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
same style as the Alchemist, maybe a notch more complex, more on mineral notes and more on tobacco and coffee. There’s also wonderful notes of blackcurrant and blackberry jellies and a little more liquorice, lovage, soy sauce... Brilliant nose!
restaurant Palate
extremely heavy, thick, concentrated, kind of acrid. Maximal extraction here, wondering whether there was any wood left after 16 years ;-). Anyway, very spectacular but probably not for everyone. Cooked wine, heavy jams, overinfused black tea… well, you get the drift. Let’s see what happens with water, I’m curious… With water: a greenness appearing, which was to be expected. Green tea, crème de menthe (do you know Get35?)
timer Finish
long, heavy, quite woody now. More strong tea and liquorice wood
