Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 퍼스트필 올로로소 셰리 버트에서 28년을 보낸 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 1988년산 분나하벤의 짭조름한 바닷내 위로 셰리의 건과일 향이 또렷이 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 56.2 도수의 두꺼운 질감이 혀를 가득 채운다. 무화과 잼과 옅은 가죽, 미네랄이 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 셰리와 짠맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
some gunpowder but not too much, some walnut stain for sure, and a totally umami-esque development. Yes, a palate thing but you’ll find this in the noses too. Soy sauce, cocoa, nori, dried parsley, and some proper old balsamico. Almost forgot to mention pipe tobacco, and perhaps the tiniest drop of Marmite ever. Ever! With water: prunes and cigars. Rather less dry
restaurant Palate
punchy, this. Concentrated orange juice and caramel, prune sauce, a drop of proper old PX from Jerez, and glazed chestnuts. This baby would make many other so-called sherry monsters take dictation. With water: prunes and raisins, it’s becoming much sweeter and rounder. Marmalade and the tiniest pinch of salt in the background
timer Finish
long, cocoa-ish. Herbal aftertaste. Artichokes, which often come with oloroso
