Tasting Notes

Colour

pure gold

air Nose

fabulous first nose, with a perfect oakiness and lots of ripe apricots again. Superb notes of small ripe oranges and acacia honey together with some whiffs of white wood smoke and charred wood. Develops on whiffs of eucalyptus leaves, white pepper, perhaps a little musk, Joy de Patou… Ah, now there’s a little camphor, bandages, embrocations… And it’s not finished, we have also some cooked strawberries, old Sauternes wine (it makes me think of a 1978 Lafaurie I had not so long ago). This nose is just magnificent!

restaurant Palate

beautiful attack again, very creamy, with a superb oak and lots of white pepper and even nutmeg. Goes on with some coffee, vanilla, caramel before it switches to camphor and eucalyptus again, and also bergamot tea. Quite minty at that. Notes of orange marmalade and toasted bread… The finish is long, perhaps a tad too tannic and drying (lots of cinnamon as well) but it’s still beautiful, with some funny hints of menthol cigarette. In short, lots of oak in this beauty but it’s superb oak so… 91 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: fantastic Brazilian band Cabruera does a rather 'spatial' piece called Forro esferografico.mp3 . Isn't that kind of grooovy? Please buy Cabruera's music if you like it! October 2, 2005 MUSIC – Very highly recommended listening: Wazimbo & Orchestra , from Mocambique, play a peaceful and nicely repetitive Nwahulwana.mp3 . Absolutely superb... And what a voice! Please, please buy Wazimbo's music... TASTING - VERY RECENT AND VERY OLD INDIE LAPHROAIGS Laphroaig 13 yo 1992/2005 (59.5%, Signatory Cask Strength, bourbon, cask #3407, 227 bottles)
