Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
it got a little mushroomy. Watch the corks and always make sure, if possible, that these bottles have been kept standing; indeed, even when the level is good. Having said that, it remained rather awesome, on many dried figs (a main marker) and with a complex nuttiness. Sultanas, a little parsley, dates, sage, coffee liqueur, melon liqueur, roasted malt…
restaurant Palate
similarly raisiny, slightly meaty, with a little pipe tobacco, roasted nuts, toasted bread, a PX-ness (indeed) and the usual walnuts and oranges. These 43% vol. do feel a little out of fashion, but the core is all right, even if OBE has been striking for sure. OBE can be good or bad, naturally, in this case it was okay
timer Finish
medium, with even more mushrooms and tobacco
