Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very fresh, starting as fruity as possible, on bold notes of apple juice. Extremely bold notes of apple juice, in fact! All the rest is sort of hidden behind those, and stays so for a long time. Then we have hints of vanilla, flowers (peonies, buttercups), light honey, dry white wine (Chardonnay)… Maybe also a little flour, porridge… Quite one-dimensional considering its age, but lovers of apple juice should like this a lot
restaurant Palate
a sweet attack but it’s also a little sharp and tannic, with lots of pepper and nutmeg. Notes of tea, ginger ale, maybe a little vanilla… It gets then extremely herbal (grass juice, spinach, cooked sorrel… Gets quite bitter, with a rather long but almost acrid finish and lots of pepper. This one is a bit hard for my fragile palate ;-). I tried with a little water but that didn’t improve it, it got even more tea-ish (unsugared strong tea). But the big apple juice on the nose was impressive. 75 points . Glenesk 1975/2005 (55.3%, The Cross Hill, Jack Wieber's, 210 bottles)
