Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 셰리 벗에서 숙성한 피트 발레친답게 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 마르멜로의 과실감이 페놀과 어우러지며 먼저 두드러진다. 마지팬과 누가의 단맛이 향을 둥글린다. 팰럿에서는 파인애플과 뜨거운 레몬 마멀레이드, 브리오슈가 명확하게 드러나며 에드라두어 특유의 까다로운 결이 잠깐 비친다. 피니시는 풀 내음과 스파이스, 은은한 짠맛으로 길게 발전한다. 에드라두어의 피트 버전답게 셰리 과실과 훈연의 구조감이 또렷하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it has troubles talking at this very high strength, let’s add water right away (but it seems that there are nice notes of apricots). With water: listen, I’d love to bash this crazy wine finishing (and god knows Yquem is great wine) but contrarily to ‘Tokaj’ versions that were really too much, this is very, very enjoyable. Not sweetish at all, rather balanced, kind of phenolic, superbly fruity, on apricots, ripe bananas, quinces and herbal tea (camomile) and then marzipan and nougat. Works very well (I’m afraid)
restaurant Palate
punchy, sweet and fruity, all on pineapple drops and hot lemon marmalade. Very hot! With water: Edradour’s slightly ‘tricky’ character shines through for a short while but then it’s all bananas flambéed, tinned pineapples, brioche and apricot pie, with also quite some honey
timer Finish
long, a little more vegetal and spicy now, as well as a little salty
