Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

exactly the same style as the 1984, ultra-grassy and even drier than its sibling. There’s also quite some paraffin, graphite oil, bags of cut grass… Having said that, it develops nicely on fresh almonds and hazelnuts, with also a little fresh butter. Less tarry and rubbery than the 1984 but a little tar there is. Very ‘un-modern’

restaurant Palate

again, more or less the 1984 with more oomph. There’s also an interesting mustardy side to it, some pepper, cane syrup… Something very old style. Also something that reminds me of buffalo grass vodka. Maybe that’s buffalo grass? ;-)

timer Finish

quite long, austere, grassy and mustardy. Funnily, the aftertaste is all on wasabi
