Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 건조하고 다소 금속성을 띤다. 작약 같은 플로럴 뉘앙스가 먼저 드러나고 삼나무와 허브 티가 뒤를 잇다가 시간이 지나면 훈제 햄 같은 육향이 올라온다. 팰럿은 인상이 완전히 달라져 건포도와 잼처럼 진한 셰리 단맛이 입을 채운다. 46도의 질감이 이 단맛을 무겁지 않게 잡아준다. 피니시는 길고 마른 과일과 건포도가 이어진다. 향과 맛의 온도차가 흥미로운 두 개 리필 호그스헤드 배팅이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber. Darker than Ruby
air Nose
much drier, less easy, more metallic than the Ruby at first nosing. More fragrant too, with peonies and maybe a little incense, then cedar wood as well as various herbal teas. Rosehip? There’s also a growing meatiness, between bacon and cured ham, Spanish style. After ten minutes: the flowery notes grew and grew. Also walnuts from the sherry. After fifteen minutes: the metallic touches got bigger
restaurant Palate
wrecked! A lot of plastic! This could well be an accident, thank god I have a sample from another bottle… Please allow me one or two minutes (…) Ah, no, indeed, that was an accident. This is a luscious, rich, very raisiny one. It’s almost pure jam! It’s also a little grapey, the sherry’s quite immense. It’s a rather simple palate but it’s good, provided you like heavy sweet sherry
timer Finish
long, on dried fruits and raisins. Classic
