Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
much drier, much less aromatic and fruity than both the 1991 and 1990. More pencil shavings too, walnuts… Well, one can feel it’s a great nose, it’s just that it’s a little shy after the lemony fruit bombs that we just had. After a few minutes: more precious old wood, leather, teabags, Havana tobacco, flints, just whiffs of gunpowder (well, a gun)… It’s complex
restaurant Palate
funny how it’s got something Japanese, it could Yamazaki and I’m not joking. Was this re-racked at some point? Oak, tea, ginger and cinnamon, then more tangerine drops, orange marmalade and ripe plums but the gingery side fights back and it becomes immensely gingery. Do you like ginger? Anyway, a rather strange profile for a sherry cask…
timer Finish
long, gingery, peppery, very dry. Little fruitiness left
