Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw with reddish hues
air Nose
very fruity at first nosing and quite winey but nothing excessive. Lots of cooked apples and strawberry jam, with some hints of gewürztraminer, old roses and ripe bananas. Develops on some notes of ginger tonic, Schweppes, gooseberries… Very fresh and rather delicate… Hints of white chocolate (yes, that isn’t genuine chocolate) and flowers from the fields. Nicely balanced and quite vibrant
restaurant Palate
much more winey this time, with some very sweet notes of cooked fruits, blackcurrant jelly, strawberry liqueur… It’s quite hot, at that. Very malty as well, with some American ‘cooked’ coffee, burnt caramel… Gets quite woody and a slightly drying and bitter towards the finish. Well, the nose was most enjoyable and the mouth is okay, although too winey for my tastes. But that’s a matter of.. er… taste! 83 points . Benromach 1980/2004 ‘Cask Strength’ (58.6%, OB)
