Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들고 코를 넣으면 36년이라는 숫자에 비해 향이 젊게 열려 졸인 체리와 자두, 자두 리큐어가 먼저 다가온다. 뒤로 구운 오크와 흙내, 노란 꽃이 스친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 마르산과 루산 와인 캐스크의 흔적인지 포도알 같은 새콤함이 돌고 오크 향신료가 다소 앞선다. 41도로 병입된 이 1969년 원액은 삼킨 뒤 홍차와 나무 향신료를 조용히 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
noses relatively young, with whiffs of oak and sherry indeed, stewed cherries and plums, damson liqueur and chocolate, then rather more toasted oak. A touch of earth and a hint of hay too, plus yellow flowers. Not earthshattering but pleasant
restaurant Palate
pleasant arrival, with more stewed fruits and a floral feeling, but it tends to become grapey, with sour(ish) raisins and too much oak spiciness, geared towards old tea in the old teapot. The middle is a little unpleasant
timer Finish
not much, on more black tea and oak spices, with a curious sweetness (Haribo's mini rainbow frogs, not that popular in France, contrary to what you could be thinking)
