Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라인리시 1989 특유의 미네랄 오일과 부싯돌, 금속 광택제와 흙내음이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 셰리 캐스크에서 16년을 보낸 만큼 백단향과 약초, 훈제 고기, 건포도, 발사믹의 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 55.1도의 도수가 무겁고 기름진 질감 위로 금속성 뉘앙스와 삶은 햄, 흑연, 오렌지 껍질의 향미로 단단하게 입을 채운다. 클라인리시 특유의 왁스 질감이 셰리의 흙내음과 겹친다. 피니시는 고기 같은 감칠맛과 흙, 기름진 여운이 길게 이어지는 개성 강한 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light amber
air Nose
opens really enticingly on mineral oils, gun flints, metal polish and oily rags. An earthy, gravelly, rich minerality follows on. Then you get this twin prong of sandalwood and a very eloquent herbal aspect. Some savoury pastries, cured meats, sweet raisins, cough medicine and a touch of balsamic. Rather sooty and punchy as well with these notes of peppery grilled steak. Very good though. With water: notes of gravy, dried cranberry, soft herbal qualities and plasticine. Overall softer and more earthy but still with this slightly sooty, meaty sherry aspect
restaurant Palate
heavy and fatty in style again. More metallic notes, cooked ham, graphite oil, carbon paper, old ink, slightly tarry, more notes of ointment and almost antiseptic. Again this gravelly earthiness on top of orange peel, sweaty waxiness and some beef stock. With water: on one had you have this sweetness in the form of dried berry fruits, on the other this earthy, slightly flabby, oily, salty and meaty qualities. Notes of bovril and vegetable stock. More pencil graphite as well
timer Finish
Long, meaty, rubbery, earthy, oily and with some drying hessian cloth notes
