Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

very, very close to the 1985 at first nosing but getting more expressive after a while. Hints of sherry, big notes of shoe polish and paraffin, dried pears. More on spearmint after a while, chives, white chocolate, roasted nuts, heather honey... Very nice nose even if the whole is maybe a tad too harmless. A Macallan de salon?

restaurant Palate

good attack, peaty, malty and ashy, with good body. Gets then very spicy (nutmeg first, then cloves and cardamom), the oak getting bigger over time (a pleasant bitterness and no excessive tannins)

timer Finish

rather long, oakier now, with a little mint
