Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 구릿빛이 도는 앰버가 밝게 반짝인다. 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 무화과와 말린 대추야자, 블러드 오렌지가 산뜻하게 올라오고 마른 장미 꽃잎과 오래된 동전 냄새가 뒤를 따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 핑크 페퍼와 산초 같은 향신료가 먼저 퍼지고 오래된 올로로소와 다크 초콜릿, 모과 젤리가 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 삼나무와 마른 오렌지, 버베나의 상쾌한 쓴맛이 되돌아온다. 23년 숙성이라기엔 놀랍도록 밝은 1974년이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber with copper tones
air Nose
fantastic! Brighter than the others, fresher, perhaps younger in fact, with superb notes of ripe figs, dried dates, menthol cigarettes, blood oranges, and ‘a little shoe polish for ladies’ pumps’. Also a few old copper coins, dried rose petals, pot-pourri… I find it really very sophisticated
restaurant Palate
some oakiness but all this is very elegant, starting with all kinds of sweet peppers (pink pepper, Timut, Szechuan and all that), a few old cigars that went dry, then we have old oloroso, black chocolate, and quince jelly. Absolutely beautiful
timer Finish
medium, but fresh and bright, with oriental spices, cedar wood, dried porcinis, dried bitter oranges, and a little verbena and genepy in the aftertaste, which just further lifts it
