Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 아드벡 특유의 왁스 질감 위로 셰리 호그스헤드가 더한 버섯내와 마른 곰팡이, 해풍의 미네랄 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 1993 빈티지의 이 20년은 57.2도에서 카푸치노와 모카 같은 셰리의 무게감을 명확하게 드러낸다. 팰럿에서는 드라이한 쓴맛과 허브차, 사탕수수 단맛이 균형을 이루며 발전한다. 피니시는 셰리의 쌉쌀함과 오크가 중간 길이로 이어지고 구조감이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pink gold
air Nose
superbly waxy at first nosing, but also very musty, with some bold mushroomy notes. Also some coastal notes, with some sea air mixed with caramel, cappuccino, mocha. A very nice blend, although the old bottle effect may be too heavy here
restaurant Palate
dry and a little too bitter, and also very caramelly (too seasoned?). Some notes of herbal tea and candy sugar, but not much else. The finish is rather short, yet quite bitter. Undoubtedly a very, very good old blend, that might just have got a little too tired after a good thirty-five years in its bottle. 77 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: well not really recommended, actually, but maybe MS Demeanor (and Stevie Moore) doing Whose fantasy is this anyways.mp3 will make you laugh a little... And please buy their 'music' if you laughed.
