Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
단 8년 숙성이라는 사실이 믿기지 않을 만큼 노즈의 완성도가 높다. 벌집과 귀부 와인을 떠올리게 하는 꿀과 건포도, 살구가 층을 이루고 버섯과 커피, 옅은 당밀이 뒤를 받친다. 팰럿에서는 사과와 배로 만든 타르트를 연상시키는 단맛에 향신료와 꿀이 겹치며 발전한다. 1969년에 증류해 1978년에 병입된 짧은 숙성의 거친 결이 미세하게 남아 있다. 피니시는 풀과 타닌 쪽으로 조여들며 마무리된다.

air Nose
first, I think we have to apologise to the angels who haven’t had much of this during those only eight years in wood. And second, I’m dead sure that a significant part of what the lucky taster can find in this nose wasn’t quite there in 1978. You see, it’s all a matter of aroma precursors that need time to do their jobs, even when in glass. In this case, they went towards magnificent beehive-y notes and the best old Sauternes and Sélections de Grains Nobles. Ach ja, or Trockenbeerenauslese. Raisins, apricots, mirabelles, honey, mushrooms, coffee, light molasses, agave syrup, citronella… What’s also striking is that this is complex and focussed at the same time. You’re right, that’s style
restaurant Palate
well, this could as well be 30 years old, despite the fact that’s there’s a wee roughness from young age remaining there. Other than that, it’s a tarte tatin made out of apples and pears and covered with the finest spices and honeys
timer Finish
this wee roughness hasn’t left. Some grass and tannins from 1978 haven’t said their final word
