Tasting Notes
Colour
Gold
air Nose
Not dissimilar to the 1955s in the same series. Immense depth with these beautiful and immense herbal and liqueurish notes. But here there are also wonderfully polished and fresh green fruits as well. Beeswax, runny honey, pollens, clover, olive oil, very subtle peat and an increasing sea salt aspect. Motor oil, ripe greengages, yellow wild flowers and a hint of petroleum - almost a very old dry Gewurztraminer. With water: obscenely fruity, waxy, coastal and complex
restaurant Palate
Proof that it is possible to peat candle wax I’d say. Clove rock, soot, ripe peaches, plum sauce, strawberry wine, more sooty coal notes, all manner of fruits, spices and a wonderfully crisp coastal zing. With water: yet again it becomes utterly spellbinding
timer Finish
Endless, resinous, waxy and herbal
