Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
and there you have it, mangoes and wee bananas rolled in vanilla cream, beeswax and a dab of olive oil, plus two or three fresh mint leaves tossed in for good measure. The result of this sort of combination is inevitably superlative, and one would never suspect this baby was 37 or 38 years old when bottled. For the time being, I find it clearly superior to the 1975 ‘The Cross Hill’ from the same source
restaurant Palate
it’s a touch more on the oaky side, but that was to be expected, and the whole remains well in check thanks to the fruit, this time veering more towards apple and peach. The oak delivers cinnamon, allspice, aniseed, turmeric and nutmeg, plus a touch of white pepper, but it’s all reined in by the apple, which keeps the shop running
timer Finish
fairly long, with the spices still firing away from the oak department, a little more aniseed-driven now, while the wax and very ripe apple wrap it all up most elegantly
