Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 속에 맑게 어린다. 로랜드의 로즈뱅크가 단일 오크 호그스헤드에서 15년을 보낸 이 1990년산은 풋사과와 레몬, 갓 벤 풀의 산뜻한 향을 가볍게 피워 올린다. 한 모금 머금으면 보리 단맛과 시트러스, 흰 꽃의 섬세한 단맛이 혀를 감싸고, 여과를 거치지 않은 59.5도의 기운이 풍미를 또렷하게 끌어올린다. 로랜드 특유의 가벼운 우아함이 깃들어 있으며, 여운에는 풀 향과 레몬 껍질, 가벼운 화이트 페퍼가 맑게 이어진다.
AITasting 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!)
