Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 구운 견과와 프루트케이크, 모카로 열리며 볶은 참기름과 밀랍의 뉘앙스가 뒤를 받친다. 시간이 지나면 가구용 왁스 쪽으로 이동하며 전체적으로 건조한 방향을 잡는다. 팰럿에서는 향신료를 두른 말린 과일과 아르마냑에 절인 자두가 이어지고 대추와 무화과가 뒤따른다. 58.8도의 힘이 이를 단단하게 지탱한다. 피니시는 길고 마지막에 꿀이 늦게 올라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber with copper tones
air Nose
no, this is quite different, far more on roasted nuts and fruitcake, mocha, roasted sesame oil, even beeswax and dried beef. Then it shifts gradually towards furniture polish. Overall, it’s distinctly drier. With water: this official version gains a slight edge, thanks to a little more beeswax and some soft oils (sunflower)
restaurant Palate
the gap narrows on the palate, with the differences becoming more subtle. We’re on spicy dried fruits and Armagnac-soaked prunes once more. One is reminded of Austrian ‘Rumba Pfaumle’, which, long story short, translates, for the record, as ‘chocolate-dipped dried plums with domestic rum’. And in Austria, domestic rum is quite something, but I digress… With water: this time we’re nearly identical, this one just being a tad more polished, more harmonious. Dates and figs, with a signature note of copper coin
timer Finish
lovely length, loads of dried fruits, and a burst of honey arriving late
