Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 구리빛이 도는 호박색이 잔 벽을 타고 두껍게 내려온다. 코를 가져가면 볶은 견과와 과일 케이크가 먼저 인사하고 곧 모카와 밀랍이 겹치다가 가구 광택제 쪽으로 마르게 방향을 바꾼다. 한 모금 머금으면 58.5도의 힘과 함께 향신료를 두른 말린 과일과 아르마냑에 절인 자두가 입을 채운다. 물을 몇 방울 더하면 대추와 무화과가 열리며 결이 한결 매끈해진다. 삼키면 말린 과일 뒤로 꿀이 늦게 올라와 길게 이어진다.
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
