Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 열면 처음엔 건조하고 무뚝뚝하지만 곧 블러드 오렌지와 딸기 잼, 건포도가 잇달아 부풀어 오른다. 뒤로는 구운 밤과 데메라라 설탕이 따라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 셰리의 붉은 베리가 가득 차오르고 오렌지 리큐어와 키르슈가 스친다. 어린 셰리답게 다소 직선적이다. 물을 더해 삼키면 생강 같은 오크 향신료가 앞으로 나와 여운을 길게 끌고 간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts just like the Royal Marriage, that is to say dry and austere, but it’s soon to become rather fuller and fruitier, with more blood oranges, strawberry jam and raisins, but there’s also a faint dustiness in the background. Flour? Then roasted chestnuts and Demerara sugar, also a little balsamic vinegar as often. With water: no further development. Maybe a little more leather and mint, as well as a little bacon. Well, that’s some further development, I guess. Also a flintiness
restaurant Palate
rich, fruitful sherry, bursting with raspberries and strawberries, then orange liqueur and a little kirsch and other eaux-de-vie (stone fruits). Just like the RM, it’s a tad raw and a little too straight for me. Young, slightly immature sherry. With water: much nicer in my opinion, although not really more complex. Some spicy oak comes through (gingery, also curry-like notes)
timer Finish
long, even spicier. Notes of new oak
