Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
황금이 깃든 옅은 호박빛이 잔 속에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 카데나스가 골라낸 링크우드 1969년 빈티지는 21년의 시간을 거쳐 풍성한 야생화 꿀과 살구, 옅은 풀잎의 향을 펼친다. 한 모금이 입천장을 천천히 덮으며 비스킷과 시트러스 껍질, 흰 후추의 산뜻한 결이 미끄러지듯 이어진다. 55.8도의 단단한 도수 끝에는 마른 보리와 따스한 오크가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting 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
