Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 앰버빛이 두껍게 돌고 처음엔 향이 닫혀 있다가 몇 분 지나 크게 열린다. 코를 가져가면 플랑베한 바나나와 크렘브륄레, 익힌 사과와 무화과가 차례로 나온다. 41.4도를 한 모금 머금으면 초록 후추와 타닌이 먼저 서고 이어 조린 딸기와 말린 살구, 생강과 계피가 몰려온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 건포도와 꿀, 솔 향 수지가 중간 길이로 이어진다.
AITasting 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
