Tasting Notes

Colour

deep amber

air Nose

lots of sultanas and rum, cooked strawberries, crystallised oranges… Not too complicated but the balance is almost perfect despite the heavy woodiness (resin)

restaurant Palate

bold, very oaky and resinous again with salty touches. Goes on with black pepper, peppermint… More and more resinous, getting a bit 'plankish'. Too bad but there's a wide range of much better young vintage Glenfarclasses to choose from. 79 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: do you remember that true gem that was on Blondie 's 1978 album 'Parallel lines', called Fade away and radiate.mp3 ? Please buy Blondie and Deborah Harry's music...
