air Nose
But this is a very old Cognac! Seriously, a beautiful and very subtle array of walnuts, sultanas, Guinness cake, rancio, toffee apples, leaf mulch, aged Calvados, maraschino and a little freshly brewed black coffee. Different to the many G&M bottlings from similar vintages also released in the 1980s - it lacks the obvious coconut aromas, maybe suggesting this was not from American oak - but also similar in other ways with this undercurrent of delicate, old style, earthy peat. Fragrant herbal qualities in the background and the tiniest hint of cigar smoke. A poetic and emotional nose - the kind to get lost in
restaurant Palate
Dense, chocolatey, deeply earthy and resinous on arrival. Almost salty! You have these wonderfully farmyard and mineral notes with lychee syrup, quince paste, umami, oyster sauce, rancio, VORS palo cortado and more dense coffee flavours like fresh espresso. Continues with dried herbs, caraway, a hint of soot and some subtle and rather beautiful waxiness. Finish. Long, sappy, earthy, resinous and herbal. Some final flickers of peat, wood embers, engine oil, old medicine and an eventual wink of green and citrus fruits
