Tasting Notes

Colour

bronze-brown

air Nose

extraordinary sherry, with lots of tropical fruits (passion, mango) mixed with some waxy, smoky notes. Lots of coffee beans, a bit of paraffin, Roasted almonds, pecan pie, vanilla cream. Really a thrill, getting very chocolaty with time wow, lots of the usual passion fruits mixed with some high-end bitter chocolate and some first class Italian coffee. Just wonderful

restaurant Palate

superb attack, on dried tropical fruits, raspberry jam and some delicate milk chocolate. Fresh pineapple, passion fruit, pink grapefruit. Extraordinary balance. Notes of peat, toffee, coffee… Some smoke, breadcrumb… I like the way it tickles your tongue. Really playful, absolutely fantastic. No wonder it became a legend – I think it’s quite better than both the second and the final editions, which I both have at 91 points. The first is in another dimension: 96 points . Bowmore 20 yo 1965 (49.1%, G&M for Sestante) on full fruit jam covered with white pepper. Lots of oomph… A great old Bowmore, perhaps not as complex as some other old ones (and a bit drier) but extremely compact and satisfying. What a great body! I love it: 92 points . (Thanks, Luc) MUSIC – Recommended listening: king of 'Wellness Pop' and 'Astro Musette' Zofka was born in Prague but it's in Switzerland that this highly skilled electronic artist emerged. He seems to be influenced by some old French movies (with Jean-Paul Belmondo), as L'automobile.mp3 will testify. Please buy Zofka's music if you like it! June 21, 2005 VINEXPO TASTING - TWO BRAND NEW BOTTLINGS Benromach 55 yo 1949/2005 (40%, OB, 70 bottles) A brand new, very limited bottling of the oldest Benromach ever, introduced for the first time at Vinexpo, Bordeaux. Good news, I was at Vinexpo yesterday (and I’m still there today), so let’s taste it
