Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 밝은 금빛이 잔벽을 타고 잔잔히 흐른다. 코를 가져가면 에드라두어가 만든 발레친 2004의 버건디 캐스크가 살구와 잘 익은 바나나, 옅은 훈연을 함께 끌어올린다. 46도의 한 모금을 머금으면 파인애플과 레몬 마멀레이드, 꿀에 은근한 페놀 뉘앙스가 얹혀 혀를 데운다. 삼키면 13년 와인 숙성의 달콤함 뒤로 살짝 풀 내음과 소금기가 길게 따라온다.
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
