Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엑스 버번과 엑스 레드 와인이라는 두 결의 우드가 35년의 시간 속에서 벤리악의 캐릭터를 다층적으로 빚어낸다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 베리와 마른 무화과, 옅은 바닐라가 가장 먼저 올라오고 그 뒤로 마른 정향과 우드 스파이스가 따라붙는다. 입에서는 캐러멜라이즈된 자두와 호두, 옅은 시나몬이 부드러운 질감으로 흐르고 42.5도의 알코올이 잘 정돈된 균형을 만든다.

Pablo Casals after Justin Bieber. A perfect combination of nectar, many honeys, some beeswax, several slightly overripe western fruits (apples, pears, plums) and several well-ripened topical ones (papayas, mangos). Add a drop of menthol oil and a little white chocolate. This is more than perfect, elegant, subtle, and yet ‘evident’, even if it hasn’t quite got the ‘evidence’ of some older vintages, such as 1968 or 1976
restaurant Palate
ah, evidence indeed. It’s a clear case of an obvious oakiness that’s so well complemented with fruit jams and syrups that balance gets perfect. More papayas, sultanas, pineapple jam, apples, honeys… And indeed a tobacco-like oakiness, and even many tannins, but those are very ‘silky’
timer Finish
medium, rather on apricots this time, which makes it resemble the (better side of) the 15yo Sauternes. Exceptional touches of mint tea, Moroccan-style. We’re at the Gazelle d’Or in Taroudant, sipping this while listening to the (friendly) muezzin…
