Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
very different again and, I must say, a little more to my likings. Certainly not ample nor luscious but the dryness is very enjoyable, even if there’s a little rubber and maybe even sulphur at first nosing. I like the walnuts, the smoked tea, the whiffs of embrocation (camphor), the notes of hot bread crust, quince jelly, apple pie... It isn’t bold at all, maybe even a bit too shy but balance is achieved and the rubbery notes disappeared. My favourite within the flight
restaurant Palate
yes, the same happens here. Probably not enough to shout ‘Mac is back’ but again, the balance is perfect, the profile is perfect, the sherry is perfect, elegance is achieved and the whole does ‘the peacock’s tail’. Nuts, dried fruits, various deserts, soft spices, smoke and so on
timer Finish
medium long but clean and candied. I like this one a lot, really, and I’d better own one bottle of this than six cases of any Fine Oak version, including the 30yo. Congrats to the man (or woman?) who composed this one. 91 points. MUSIC – Recommended listening: we'll have something by the godfather of soul (or is it funk?) today - Mr James Brown of course: it's simply called The boss.mp3 . and I really like its jazzy development, it almost sounds like some Stan Kenton. Please buy James Brown's music. October 16, 2007 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan THE DECEMBERISTS Royal Festival Hall, London, October 2nd 2007 The Decemberists are very clever. Front man and song writer Chris Meloy went to college and studied creative writing, and also spent a while as a drama student before turning to rock and roll. That’s probably why there is so much creativity and drama in their songs. ‘Literate’ is a word that often used to describe them, ‘idiosyncratic’ is another. So take this as an example: “she's a salty little pisser with your cock in her kisser”. It’s from ‘The tain’, which opens tonight’s concert, and it’s okay because it’s faux sea-shantyish lyrics. You have to get used to faux, because between the creative, the dramatic, the literary and the idiosyncratic there’s a lot of faux in the Decemberists ’ work. They contrive (yes – there’s a lot of that too) to inhabit a faux Victorian (or is it Edwardian?) landscape, full of mariners, murderers, mistresses, mayhem and melancholy – oh yes, and let’s not forget the whales. And more than a nod to Russian history (give or take an ‘e’), but I don’t have to explain that to you do I? If you’re reading this then you’re clever too. It’s all jumbled together with the music, the costumes and outfits, and the neat graphics (many, if not all, by Meloy’s partner Carson Ellis) to produce a melange, or perhaps Serge, in a more maritime sense, a bouillabaisse of safely edgy nostalgia, tinged with a studied air of eccentricity. But the Decemberis
