Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
extremely close to the 1982, only a wee tad rougher and more on the fruity side. But both style and quality are up there so far. With water: same development as with the 1982, only a tad less complex now. A lot of mint but no truffles this time, too bad. I had thought this one would have been the winner
restaurant Palate
once again, this is extremely close to the 1982. Maybe a tad more complex (yes, even more complex), with more tertiary aromas, and an even wider range of herbs and spices and quite some prune sauce (like they make in China or Vietnam, so fabulous). With water: okay, please read above. Maybe even more oomph
timer Finish
more oomph indeed. Even longer, with extra spices and touches of old-fashioned herbal liqueurs
