Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
ah, a sherry cask. Plenty of chocolate and earth, with ‘dryish’ raisins and some mushrooms. Touches of menthol and liquorice wood. Classic and classy, even if there isn’t a lot of Scapaness coming through this far. With water: old Sauternes and old-style crème de menthe. Some art deco whisky? That’s lovely. Some old Bourgogne as well, with hints of game, black cherries, more earth…
restaurant Palate
very good. Cough medicine and bitter oranges, with these touches of salt and some kind of liquoricy raisins. I remember this bottle had a rather high reputation when it came out – yes, how time flies. With water: very very good! Pinesap, mint, raisins, and chocolate. Love the freshness from the mint
timer Finish
long, a tad grapy, but not in a bad way at all. Hints of botrytised wine – old Sauternes indeed
