Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

fresh and nicely sherried. Lost of honey, caramel and vanilla, as usual. Some nice notes of sweet wine (gewurztraminer vendanges tardives)... Hints of oak and pepper. In short, it’s nice and rather sweet, and of course flawless. Some gingerbread after a few minutes

restaurant Palate

sweet and creamy attack. Quite some wine, apple compote, honey, with a dash of white pepper. Rather long finish, on sweet wine and oak. It appears to be much bolder than what I’d have expected since it’s a 40% version. I like it, although it lacks complexity. 83 points . Balvenie 1989 PortWood (40%, OB, 2004)
