Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
an ode to old age and certainly not an elegy. Wonderful freshness, maybe even more freshness than in the 1970 and 1973. Superbly floral, with whiffs of fruit salad (quite some melon) and ripe apricots, various honeys and just a little eucalyptus. Little smoke but these fruity notes grow even bolder, with even more apricot (also as jam) and then natural vanilla. And guess what, no obvious oaky/tannic tones, which is a miracle. Amazing nose
restaurant Palate
not a powerhouse of course but it’s not thin, not weak, not tired, not drying and not cardboardy. In other words, a succession of other tiny miracles, it’s one to sip religiously (ah well). Notes of tobacco, banana skin, orange marmalade, tangerines, apricot again, then a more resinous development but once again, no excessive woodiness even if there is quite some ginger and cinnamon
timer Finish
not extremely long but the blend of these apricotty notes with a little pine resin and mint works perfectly well
