Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
샤르도네를 닮은 옅은 빛이 잔에 맑게 담긴다. 리필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 스물일곱 해를 보냈지만 셰리의 흔적은 앞에 나서지 않는다. 향은 구스베리와 그래니 스미스 사과, 신선한 버터와 양초 밀랍으로 열리고 뿌리채소의 은은한 단맛이 그 뒤에 놓인다. 입에서는 왁스와 뿌리의 결이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 그린게이지와 키위의 새콤함이 이어진다. 석회질을 밟는 듯한 백묵의 감촉이 인상적이다. 여운은 길고 우아하며 회향과 아니스의 향이 끝에 맺힌다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
chardonnay
air Nose
chardonnay. I am not joking! Some nice blanc de blancs from the Côte des Blancs, plus some gooseberries, granny smith, some fresh butter, apple juice, candle wax, a cup of celeriac juice, one of carrot juice, just a little custard, and the signature white asparagus that sometimes – not often – appear in civilised Springbanks. Let's put this straight, this could have been Clynelish just as well
restaurant Palate
it was not quite a nosing whisky, the palate's having it. Fantastic roots and waxes, tart green fruit (the same apples, greengages, kiwis) and this extraordinary chalkiness that would remind us of some great… terroiry chardonnays indeed. Limestone, do you hear me? I've had a little Auxey-Duresses the other day… that's all I'm saying! In any case, Sponge or not Sponge, this palate is perfect
timer Finish
rather long, very elegant, with a few medicinal touches and even a little fennel and aniseed
