Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
seriously, it’s marvellous. The problem is that fifteen or twenty years ago, there were many stupendous older HPs that were still easy to find and buy, such as the old bulky bottles with their round black labels. Which means that this 1967 may have been kind of overshadowed, but actually, in 2019, I think this nose is fantastic, with its notes of almonds, cough syrup, castor oil, olive oil, tar, old Barbour jacket, camphor and dried figs. It’s just a little fragile, seemingly. Oh and yeah, the John Goodwin bottle, or some of the Dragons used to kill all HPs as well
restaurant Palate
fab, just a tad fragile indeed, but that’s just the low strength. A wonderful mix with dried fruits and herbal liqueurs, would we say. Say the usual figs and dates, and the expected chartreuse and Verveine (verbena liqueur), all that being unified by overripe apples, or the slightly oxidative juice made thereof. In the background, some very tiny notes of meat and iron, but that may well be OBE in motion
timer Finish
a little short, but bright, going towards some old vin naturel (fortified). Very old Maury or Banyuls, does that ring a bell? Some mint tea and a touch of smoke in the aftertaste
