Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 따뜻하게 빛난다. 독일 하르츠 지방의 글렌 엘스를 말라가 와인 쿼터 캐스크에서 5년 길러낸 이 보틀링은 젊은 활력에 와인 캐스크의 단맛을 더한다. 코끝에는 잘 익은 적포도와 건자두, 구운 견과의 향이 또렷이 어우러지고 입에서는 흑설탕과 베리, 옅은 향신료의 풍미가 두껍게 입을 채운다. 51.3도의 여운에는 와인의 달큰함과 과일의 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rich amber
air Nose
this reminds me of some crazy bloodtubs that Bruichladdich were doing. High extraction/flavouring and true punch in your face, but sometimes you had miracles. Believe me or not, there is some kind of miracle happening here. Sure the Malaga feels (PX? Moscatel?) and so do some curry-like spices plus a lot of aniseed, but it would just click. I’m surprised I enjoy it a lot (am I not on the edge of schizophrenia?) With water: wonderful chocolate and wood smoke. Pine wood, barbecue, cassis…
restaurant Palate
well, this is excellent. I remember Zuidam/Millstone were having something similar. Creamy mouth feel and a lot of chocolate, sloe gin, raisins, bitter oranges, PX indeed, spicy oak (clove)… With water: it goes the distance! Spicy marmalade, raisins, a little syrup…
timer Finish
long, perhaps a tad too sweet now, but not to unbearable extents
