air Nose
you know what, it’s as if the extra 15 years of maturation didn’t count, at least at first nosing. Roughly the same profile as the 1997, even if it does go more towards a fruitier and more honeyed profile after a while. More beeswax, in other words, and less grassy notes. Keeps opening up after that, with more mead, humus, clay, honeydew, earth, roots… It’s all very superb now, very Clynelish from that 1982/1983 period that has no cause to be jealous of 1972/1973
restaurant Palate
strong and firm, peppery, waxy, mineral and kumquatty. Great attack but quite bizarrely, it seems to lose a little steam while it becomes rather grassier and slightly bitter. And quite peppery. No big deal, though, it’s still very beautiful. Let’s see what happens with water… With water: hold on, this is nicer again, more lemony and herbal, with a bigger body. Swims like a champ! And I like these touches of verbena and chartreuse quite a lot
timer Finish
good length, the whole becoming even more herbal. The wax is back in the aftertaste
