Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
기묘하리만치 붉은 기가 도는 금빛이 잔에 담겨 있다. 향은 흙과 점토, 오래된 와인 저장고의 눅눅함으로 시작해 뜻밖에 럼을 닮은 달콤함으로 옮겨간다. 마라스키노 체리와 젖은 버섯, 구두약의 기운이 배경에 어른거린다. 60.1도의 입안은 강렬하다. 쓴 오렌지와 검은 후추, 검은 체리가 흙내를 타고 밀려오며 물 몇 방울이 필요할 만큼 뜨겁다. 여운은 길고 오렌지와 가죽, 흙의 잔상이 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
orangey gold (strange colour)
air Nose
it’s the Silver Seal with ten less years and ten more degrees, simple as that. Same earthy tones, clay and even mud (clean mud, eh), with added notes of rum in the background. Seriously, I’m wondering if this wasn’t (secretly) finished in a rum cask. Same hints of maraschino as well. Am I not dreaming of Italy too much? With water: between an old wine cellar and some fresh mushrooms, with some rubber and shoe polish behind all that. Not the rubbery kind of rubber, if you see what I mean
restaurant Palate
ho-ho-ho, this is powerful! A blast of rum once again, bitter oranges, soft and black peppers, black cherries and these earthy tones that just wouldn’t go away. We won’t complain. Gets a tad too peppery after a moment, water may be needed again. With water: sweeter but also a little more rubbery. Bitter oranges?
timer Finish
long, on oranges, leather, earth and rubber
