Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔에 깊게 잠긴다. 올로로소 셰리를 그대로 채운 발레친은 잘 익은 포도주의 라시오 향과 말린 무화과, 살구파이의 달큰함 위로 에드라두어 특유의 옅은 피트 연기가 감돈다. 59.6도의 강한 원액은 입 안에서 호두주와 건포도의 두툼한 단맛을 밀어 올리고, 후추와 강황의 향신료가 뜨겁게 번진다. 여운은 은매화 리큐어와 생강, 마멀레이드의 흙내음을 길게 남기며 묵직하게 가라앉는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
deep sweet wine, wonderful here as it's all geared towards rancio, Rivesaltes and, I suppose, Marsala (but I know quasi-zilch about Masala, I have to admit). With water: superb Balinese satay sauce, a little paraffin, apricot pie, a little fig wine, a touch of sweet vinegar…
restaurant Palate
very punchy and heavy, but sometimes heaviness works. Sweet walnut wine, rich raisins, pepper and turmeric and, I have to say, rather a lot of ethanol. Water is needed, even if I've noticed that a part of the young guard can swallow this kind of thing without any water without batting an eyelid at all. With water:… which would be a mistake indeed, as it does gain much complexity at around 45% vol., with rather incredible notes of myrtle liqueur, for example. Some black nougat too, sesame paste and, indeed satay (peanut based)
timer Finish
long, always with this myrtle thing… Earth, ginger and marmalade in the aftertaste, which is more common
