Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
the good side of Old Bottle Effect. I mean, its greatest side. Plenty of old waxes and oils, old books and other papers, old leather jacket, then rather beeswax, wax polish, hints of overripe bananas, quince juice, a whole bag of figs… The exact opposite of the 12 years old, I’m afraid. More old-style cough syrup after ten minutes, a touch of plasticine…
restaurant Palate
a wee bit drier, so a little less sexy than on the nose, and perhaps a little drying (pepper and black tea), but other than that the waxy and raisiny fruitiness is lovely. It’s all revolving around dried raisins, figs and dates. Good body after eighty years in glass
timer Finish
a little too drying, with some sawdust and more pepper. Some other parts remain lovely, such as notes of tarte tatin and quinces again
