Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 감싸 쥐고 온기를 올린 뒤 코를 대면 붉은 과일잼과 자두가 먼저 올라오고 향신료 기운이 그 위에 얹힌다. 헤레스에서 건너온 셰리 오크를 쓴 만큼 나무 향이 곱게 다듬어져 있다. 한 모금 머금으면 향에서 기대한 둥근 단맛보다 탄닌의 조임이 앞서고 혀 중앙이 살짝 마른다. 삼키면 바닐라와 다크 초콜릿이 남지만 40도의 몸이 얇아 끝은 이내 가늘어진다.
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 .
