Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 올로로소 셰리 버트에서 18년을 보낸 숙성이 라프로익의 강렬한 피트에 은은한 단맛을 더했다. 통의 영향이 절제된 만큼 요오드와 타르, 그을린 해초의 향이 또렷하게 솟는다. 입에서는 훈제향과 말린 과일, 감초의 쌉쌀함이 단단하게 얽힌다. 56.8도는 피트의 강단을 그대로 받친다. 짙은 황금빛 잔에는 재와 소금기, 약내음의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
dead easy, it's a breeze, no clashes whatsoever as the sherry has been behaving like… say David Niven in most of his movies. Having said that, I am finding touches of strawberry jam once more, but those are extremely subtle. Other than that, cigars, walnuts, earth, teppanyaki sauce, creosote, liquorice and, naturally, ointments and cough syrups. No complaints. With water: the raw wool is back
restaurant Palate
rich, creamy, sweeter on the palate (chestnut purée), with superb salted citrons and pink grapefruits, Timut pepper, a little jasmine tea perhaps… With water: gets a little grittier and leafier. Green walnuts, lemon marmalade, touch of ginseng perhaps, ginger and turmeric… But it would remain rounder all along, especially after that Williamson. Contrasting styles
timer Finish
long and a little rich and compote. Some flintiness and some tobacco in the aftertaste
