Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
quite grainy at first nosing but gets then more metallic and waxy (paraffin, oiled paper) as well as nicely herbal (lots of thyme and dill, even celery). Quite some overripe oranges and hints of olive oil. Alas, it’s also a little cardboardy and sort of watery, but I like this much better than the versions from the 1990’s
restaurant Palate
hmm, sure it’s a bit weakish at the attack but it sort of takes off after a few seconds, getting even powerful. Oily, thick mouth feel, quick to get a little too cardboardy, alas, with also this waxiness that’s not too nice here. Gets very grassy, maybe a little acrid, with quite some salt at the end. Oomphy it is! The finish is quite long at that, grainty and salty, with a bitter signature that isn’t too nice. The whole is rather good I must say, worth trying in any case. 77 points (I have older versions at 55). Deanston 21 yo ‘Oldest Royal Reserve’ (43%, OB, decanter for Asia, early 2000’s) Same shape as the old 25 yo , that’s easier to find in Europe
