Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
well, it is very fruity but delicately so. Not as much of a fruit bomb as the 1966-1968s. Very nice whiffs of orange soup with olive oil and honey, fresh almonds, kippers (already!), then hints of retsina (let’s support Greece!) and other resinous things, fresh putty, anchovy paste, ideas of yellow chartreuse, a little soot, grapefruits… It’s all rather mellow, very complex, elegant and absolutely not wham-bam-check-my-maracuja. You see what I mean
restaurant Palate
as light as a feather at first sips, akin to some complex blend of herbal teas and old wines. Very old dry muscat, maybe even gewürztraminer (once the rosy notes have vanished), then some tobacco, citrons, lemon grass and just the right amounnt of cinnamon and white pepper. Sadly, it becomes slightly drying and tea-ish after that and loses steam
timer Finish
relatively short and a tad cardboardy, although the aftertaste remains clean and half-fruity, half-spicy. Quite salty too
