Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 잘 다듬어진 나무 향이 먼저 오고 시라 와인 같은 향신료와 자두잼이 뒤를 받친다. 버번과 셰리 오크를 함께 쓴 파인 오크답게 첫인상은 둥글고 균형이 잡혀 있다. 한 모금 머금으면 인상이 바뀌어 거친 탄닌이 혀 가장자리를 조이고 와인 같은 산미가 스친다. 바닐라와 다크 초콜릿을 남기며 삼키면 달큰하면서도 떫은 기운이 길게 붙어 향과 맛의 온도차를 드러낸다.
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 .
