Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
the general profile is very similar to the 1973’s, with maybe a little more oomph but it’s also a little more closed at first nosing. Grows bolder by the minute, though, a little more on bananas flambéed and crème brulée. Same notes of high-end honey, cooked apples and figs as in the 1973, the whole getting then just a tad grassier and maybe a tad kirschy. Lys
restaurant Palate
it’s got the oomph that the 1973 was lacking a bit, but it’s also kind of greener and grassier, with more tannins and green pepper (young Cabernet-Sauvignon). More sherry too, cooked strawberries, prunes, dried apricots, then ginger and cinnamon and more and more pepper. Nice notes of blood oranges, maybe hints of sangria. The whole remains rather dry
timer Finish
medium long, rather more polished, with more raisins, dried papayas, ripe apples and honey. Some green spices in the aftertaste as well as a little mint, liquorice, violet sweets and pine resin
