Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
there’s probably as much sherry in this one but it’s much fresher and less chocolaty/coffeeish. More on peaches and melons, then crushed mint leaves, apricot jam, sweet white wine, verbena... Rather more elegant than the 1989, with a better balance and absolutely no sulphur or rubber
restaurant Palate
I like this so much better than the 1989! Still powerful but much more complex, spicy (nutmeg), fruity, full of youth yet perfectly mature, jammy, fresh (spearmint), elegantly vanilled... And what an excellent finish, long, balanced, fresh, compact, fruity... Much more my type, you got it, but warning, this is very drinkable. 89 points . Glenfarclas 1987/2007 (55.1%, OB 'Family Casks', cask #1010, 262 bottles) From a refill sherry hogshead
