Tasting Notes

Colour

golden amber

air Nose

the same kind of mid-austere profile as in the 1992 but with an added layer of tobacco, shoe polish and gunpowder as well as a little marmalade. More whiffs of struck matches and brown coal coming through after a while, gets also just a little spritzy-fizzy. With water: more struck matches, unlit Habano

restaurant Palate

good start on quite some marmalade on top of the trademark grassiness. Slight vinosity, then some smoked tea and quite some toasted bread. A little flour (dryness) and maybe touches of some kind of sulphur (truffles, strong coffee). With water: more of that. Roasted chestnuts

timer Finish

fairly long put these ‘roasted’ notes are even more there
