Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
quite amazingly, we’re really in the same category as the 1990 and 1986, with just different potentiometer set-ups. Vanilla -2, oranges +3, apples -1, straight oak -2. This one is incredibly fresh! Also very interesting hints of hops flowers and faint whiffs of cider vinegar, then also leather, mild cigar and green tea, that is to say almost back to plain oak. Oh, and hints of mangos and passion fruits as well. Very little Old Bottle Effect if any this time. Development after fifteen minutes: green tea galore! (I mean very high-end Chinese green tea)
restaurant Palate
ha-ha, now we’re talking! Fantastic attack (worth 93 alone) on tangerines and orange skin, mullein flower syrup (yeah I know that’s very esoteric, I’m sorry) and nougat, with hints of ginger liqueur and maybe a little cardamom. The middle isn’t as majestic but still great, maybe a tad more caramelised. Something like peppered mandarin liqueur?
timer Finish
very long, with more spices (mostly cloves and pepper) and a funny return on fresh fruits (kiwis?)
