Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 클라레 와인 피니시가 입힌 옅은 장밋빛 금색이 잔 벽을 따라 흐른다. 코끝에 가져가면 붉은 베리와 잘 익은 배, 바닷바람 같은 옅은 소금기가 어우러져 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금고 굴리면 48.7도의 부드러운 질감 위로 잼 같은 과일과 보리 단맛이 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 피트를 쓰지 않은 브루익라디 특유의 산뜻하고 짭조름한 여운이 또렷이 남아 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Rose gold
air Nose
It’s a rather leafy and slightly tobacco-esque nose at first. Some watermelon, strawberry lace and then with a little time some beautifully mineralic notes with hessian and camphor. Goes on with wee touches of white pepper, pink marshmallow, green banana and a little lanolin
restaurant Palate
I was worried the wine would sing too loudly here but thankfully it isn’t the case. There’s rather a lot of juicy fruit chewing gum, melon, pumpernickel bread and a kind of zingy rye spiciness. Even if the wine is quiet the oak certainly isn’t. All this re-racking has elevated these notes of green pepper, pencil shavings and sawdust a little too high for my liking. Continues with notes of wine gums, brambles, olive oil and a few bits of citrus peel and green fruit syrups
timer Finish
Good length, slightly earthy and with a tiny hint of coastal freshness. Also some sweeter, spicier aspects from the oak still shining through
