Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 붉게 빛난다. 1996년 아일라의 라프로익을 페드로 히메네스 셰리 버트에서 20년 길러낸 이 마스터피스는 강렬한 피트와 진한 셰리의 만남이 인상적이다. 코끝에는 토탄 연기와 말린 자두, 요오드의 향이 겹겹이 번지고 입에서는 흑설탕과 훈제, 다크초콜릿의 풍미가 두껍게 입을 채운다. 50.6도의 여운에는 재와 셰리의 달큰함이 굵고 길게 뒤섞여 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
silky soft peat smoke, embrocations, beach bonfire embers, scallops and langoustines on a grill, olive oil and some very low level fruits such as lemons and grapefruit. Subtle but very charming so far. Given time it becomes slightly more farmyard influenced. With water: sheep wool, lanolin, muddy hay lofts, game meats and anthracite dust. Rather organic and rustic in style now
restaurant Palate
sweeter peat, smoked teas, lanolin, cough sweets, herbal liqueur and salted liquorice. Quite concentrated and syrupy on the palate, with a few softer notes of dried flowers and bergamot. With water: anchovies and sardines in olive oil, frying pancetta, iodine and malt vinegar. Becomes rather powerful now with water conversely
timer Finish
long, deeply medicinal, mentholated, briny, camphory and with sharper notes of lemon juice and seawater
