Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s a rather rounder, more vanilla-ed version, with also more fudge and mint cake as well as rather less smoke. Unexpected whiffs of lemon sherbet and then almonds, maraschino and, indeed, peaches but rather the tree’s leaves than the fruits… With water: we get closer to the 1992 (that one was reduced) but this has a little more grass and grains
restaurant Palate
it’s rather more indistinct than the 1992, partly because the oak is much louder. It’s not oaky as such, but there’s a lot of coconut and you have to like, say pina colada. Hem… Other than that, I get the same combination of juicy garden fruits and smoke, even if that smoke’s a little softer. Also oranges, jelly beans, rosewater... With water: same comments. Maybe a bigger dryness, green tea…
timer Finish
medium, greener, with more tea and herbs. Is this rosemary? More citrus fruits as well, the aftertaste being just as clean and fresh as the 1992’s. Quite zesty, in fact
