Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호박빛이 잔 속에 진하게 잠겨 있다. 향은 건포도와 무화과, 대추야자에 말린 바나나까지 더해져 풍성하고 그 위로 살구잼과 오래된 귀부 와인의 단내가 얹힌다. 이십 분이 지나면 오래된 시가와 간장, 마른 햄의 감칠맛이 드러난다. 입에서는 오크와 비터 초콜릿이 앞서고 감초와 검은 건포도, 오래된 아르마냑의 거친 결이 그대로 살아 있다. 여운은 길고 여전히 사납게 마르며 멘톨의 잔향이 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
oh, I was expecting more smoke and dryness but actually, this baby’s rather rounder and more on dried fruits. The most magnificent combination of raisins, figs, dates, quinces and, guess what, dried bananas. There’s also a feeling of old Yquem (no I’m not joking), apricot jam, maybe Turkish delights, then papayas… So it’s rather a luscious one so far while once again, both its complexity and its elegance are huge. Amazing nose, I say no more. After twenty minutes: yes, old cigars, old ham, soy sauce, lovage… All good signs
restaurant Palate
maybe there’s a little too much oak in the very first sips, and maybe too much bitter chocolate as well, but otherwise it’s beautifully spicy, rather wilder and even harsher/rougher than the two previous ones, as if it was just bottled – and at cask strength, at that. Liquorice, black raisins, old Armagnac, natural tar drops or liqueur, touches of mocha, more chocolate… This dryness remains all the time, around grape pips or even chewing tobacco (or snuff). Mentholated tobacco
timer Finish
long, still a little rough, impressively young in fact. Mentholated and fino-ish aftertaste
