Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
close to the first 1986 in style but a little more cooked or rather stewed, as if there was a little sherry action in this one. It’s a little closer to an old Sauternes in fact, with faint muscatty touches as well as a little more mint. Superb nose for sure, extremely appealing. Yes, sexy. With water: even more complexity, with some pipe tobacco this time, mushrooms, honey, maybe a little saltpetre… Perfect!
restaurant Palate
luscious, as they say. Rich, candied, citrusy, nervous, spicy, herbal… It’s a very ‘wide’ profile. The spicy oakiness is also a tad more obvious than in the 1986s, with more cinnamon, but all good. With water: changes quite a lot, becoming unexpectedly medicinal. Quite some cough syrup in this one, mint and liquorice…
timer Finish
long, reminding me of some honeydew. Pine sap and white pepper the aftertaste
