Tasting Notes

Colour

amber

air Nose

very winey right from the start. Ripe strawberries and pepper, redcurrant, banana flambéed. Develops on dark chocolate, gianduja, chocolate truffles. Lots of sherry, but a very nice one, which is far from making this Farclie dull. Nice hints of fresh mint and balsamic vinegar. Very, very nice if not overly subtle

restaurant Palate

very punchy but not as bold as expected. Lots of wood (pepper) and some slightly sour notes, together with some cold coffee, meat sauce, black toffee… I was waiting for something a little creamier and sweeter, I must say. It even gets a little bitter and drying, but it’s easily bearable. Develops on some heavy notes of wine sauce, wine reduction, lees… Well, it gets a little difficult for me now, quite pungent and even a little acidic. Okay, it’s an extreme sherry monster on the palate, not exactly my taste, I must say. Ah, yes, a rating… let’s say 84 points . Glenfarclas 1968/2004 ‘For Friends Edition 1’ (50.1%, OB, Private, cask #688, 126 bottles)
