Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
very different from both the 1939 and the 1954! More marked by the wine – that is to say a bit vinous, with big notes of blackcurrant leaves and cooked strawberries. Also a little rubber and marzipan, whiffs of fresh putty, kirsch, red currant jam and finally bitter oranges and pepper. Very nice but slightly rougher than the old G&M’s
restaurant Palate
dry and maybe a bit stale at the attack, which is a little bizarre... Now, it does get significantly better after a short while, less vinous than on the nose but more resinous (pine resin) and more marked by the wood itself, and less by the wine. Nice hints of mint and eucalyptus sweets
timer Finish
maybe a little shortish but really on menthol and chlorophyll. A very good Linkwood again, albeit a rather unusual one
