Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 잘 익은 자두와 붉은 베리가 먼저 두드러지고, 둥근 오크의 스파이시함이 뒤를 받친다. 12년에 40도라 팰럿은 무겁지 않지만 올로로소와 피노 셰리의 타닌이 또렷하고, 바닐라와 다크초콜릿의 단맛 사이로 옅은 유황이 스친다. 와인 같은 질감이 서서히 살아난다. 피니시는 다소 길고 타닌감을 남긴 채 은근한 단맛으로 닫힌다. 향의 완성도가 거친 구조를 앞서는 스페이사이드 셰리다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
round, nicely balanced. Some very nice woody notes. Very spicy (syrah!) and almost like some old boy’s jam (all sorts of red fruits, especially plum). A great nose
restaurant Palate
lots of quite harsh tannins. Chapoutier uses some brand new casks for his Pavillon, so no wonder the malt’s alcohol extracted that many tannins. Hints of sulphur. Gets quite winey after a while. Notes of vanilla and dark chocolate. Rather long, but tannic and slightly sweetish finish. Not too enjoyable, I’d say, but the nose is really great. 82 points .
