Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아일라의 카올 일라가 셰리 벗에서 삼십 년을 보낸 이 1983 빈티지는 잔 속에 깊은 적갈색으로 잠긴다. 오래 묵은 피트가 누그러져 마른 해초와 훈연한 베이컨, 그을린 가죽의 향이 은은하게 풀려난다. 57.7도의 힘은 입안에서 말린 자두와 다크 초콜릿, 짭조름한 미네랄로 번지며 두꺼운 질감을 남긴다. 긴 세월이 다듬은 연기가 여운에서 천천히 사그라들며 따뜻한 잔향을 길게 드리운다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
sharper and more mineral, more varnishy too, more phenolic as well, more camphory… Hence certainly more medicinal. A little hard to say, in fact, the high strength makes it a bit brutal. With water: new car and old tools. Plus a little leather polish
restaurant Palate
absolutely perfect. Ultra-zesty, lemony, slightly salty, briny and, something that the others didn’t quite have, very kippery. I do not get any sherry, but who cares in this context? With water: you know, that feeling of riesling from an excellent winemaker. Unless it’s rather chenin blanc from appropriate terroirs
timer Finish
loses it a bit now, because of a higher sucrosity that is coming through (barley sugar), but I’m splitting hairs
