Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 깨우면 1976년 부나하벤이 피노 셰리와 샤또 디켐 피니시의 복합한 단맛을 풀어 놓는다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 살구 시럽과 미네랄 짠맛이 33년의 묵은 향과 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 49도의 점잖은 도수가 디켐 특유의 꿀 같은 단맛을 입천장에 부드럽게 펼친다. 마지막에는 짠 광물성 잔향이 길게 따라온다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
remember when we used to sometimes write 'OMG!' on the Internet? You would believe you're in front of an old bottle as there's some awesome 'good' OBE, including various metals, polishes, waxes, forgotten liqueurs and discarded ointments and embrocations. But never has some oldness nosed this fresh and lively. I'm reminded of Bocuse's 'Soupe VGE' (truffles, foie gras, chicken bouillon, vegetable bouillon, Noilly Prat – well, more or less). Only a very faint dusty/soapy side in the back of the back of the background
restaurant Palate
amazingly firm and tight (I suppose it is a 1989?), salty, with more bouillon, glazed chestnuts, which I already found in several old Bunnies if I remember well, then more Thai soups, coriander, soft chilli and ginger, lime, pickled palm hearts… And then some more classic Islay coastal flavours, oysters and crabs…
timer Finish
not that long but incredibly fresh and complex at the same time. And isn't there some smoke? More Thai soup in the aftertaste, chilli, also raisins and chocolate…
