Tasting Notes

Colour

pure gold

air Nose

another planet, obviously. Starts on superb notes of old furniture, cellulose varnish, ‘new’ Chinese lacquered cabinet, old walnuts, shoe polish… There’s also quite some incense before the whole gets much more vegetal (green tea, celeriac, salsify) and finally a little camphory and slightly sour (curry). Hints of lamp petrol, paraffin, fusel oil. Little sweetness or roundness here, the whole is very dry, nicely so that is

restaurant Palate

a soft, dry and woody attack (no excessive tannins though) followed by a great fruity bunch (the trademark melons and apricots but also bananas, very ripe oranges and pineapples, tinned papayas…) Then we have the rather soft spices (soft paprika, white pepper, curry) and finally the oak, with quite some tannins now, plantain and a little mint. Excellent although not too bold, on the verge of getting a little weak

timer Finish

rather short but balanced and subtly spicy (a little ginger, touches of mustard). Very, very good but maybe two or three more degrees would have been welcomed, it would have fetched more than 89 points . Bruichladdich 1986/2006 (57%, OB, cask #494, dark sherry) These sherried 1986’s from Bruichladdich’s are usually very good
