Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
sharp and very punchy, with more farmy and vegetal notes again and, yes, big lemony notes. Rather lime actually. Sharp like a blade. With water: not much changes, even if it does get a little farmier less talkative and a little less ‘evident’. Grassier, with also nice notes of marzipan. Lemony for sure, but less so than the ones we just had. With water: gets very grassy and also a little soapy, even after quite a long time (no simple ‘saponification’ that quickly vanishes after reduction)
restaurant Palate
softer but also much, much more lemony this time. I don’t know if lemon eau-de-vie exists (not liqueur) but I imagine it wouldn’t taste unlike this Rosebank. With water: excellent development, the whole getting rounder, creamier, more candied. In short, more civilised a bit harsh, overpowering, more acid than lemony I’d say. Spirity and very ‘green’. With water: gets better this time, even good. Creamier, rounder, with a better ‘lemony definition’
timer Finish
long, balanced, fruity and lemony. In the same league as the 1991, I’d say rather long but slightly caramelly this time, and also slightly bitterish. Not bad at all but there are better Rosebanks I think (and much better old Glen Grants at Blackadder’s these days... Yummie!)
