Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1967년 빈티지의 노령 아드벡다운 누그러진 피트 연기와 잘 익은 열대 과일 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 옅은 타르와 바닷소금이 더해져 향이 깊게 발전한다. 팰럿은 43.1도에서 부드러운 훈연과 망고, 마른 오크의 풍미가 균형을 이룬다. 32년의 긴 숙성이 거친 피트를 다듬어 섬세한 구조감을 만든다. 피니시는 은은한 연기와 열대 과일의 여운이 길게 이어진다. 옛 아드벡의 깊이가 분명하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
not bold ‘of course’ but rather expressive considering the age. No ‘loud’ fruitiness but rather a fine minerality, whiffs of ashes, stones, wax, marzipan (like often in these very old bottles). Gets meaty with time. There are also quite some flowers from the fields (dandelions). Hints – just hints - of tangerines. Really complex, subtle, with a long development, ending on tallow and soot
restaurant Palate
punchier than expected! Now we have some lemon sweets, lemon pie, roasted hazelnuts… Then verbena and spearmint (other flavours that are quite common in very old bottles) as well as a great waxiness. Gets then quite maritime, with a little salt that starts to play with your palate as well as grapefruit juice. The peat is well here in the background, also a little honey. How good!
timer Finish
long, salty, lemony and nutty, even better than at the attack or the middle. Great aftertaste on mandarins. What an excellent surprise, with a development that’s much longer than expected. And it got neither drying, nor tea-ish - at all. 91 points (and many thanks, Olivier). MUSIC – Recommended listening: Belgium's Micheline van Hautem sings Jacques Brel's La valse à mille temps.mp3 . Very, very good, please don't forget to buy her music and please go see her live if you can.
