Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

big, with a very leafy, fino-ish profile, then grass and ‘old wood’ (which is nice). Then more and more fresh walnuts and almonds, leather, more leaves, cherry stem tea, buds, vin jaune from Jura, branches… An intense, dry nose

restaurant Palate

we’re much closer to the style of the 12 plus yet again some dry sherry-ish notes, walnuts, then more bitter oranges, a little kirsch. Having said that it’s very hot so water is needed. With water (while the nose got earthier, as usual): creamier, more peppery, very spicy and even a tad mustardy. Horseradish, cloves, then oranges and maybe quinces. I like this, it’s very big for Glenkinchie (although the wood may have done all the work here)

timer Finish

very long, very spicy. Moroccan spice combo
