Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 황금빛 아래로 셰리 캐스크의 밀랍 같은 윤기가 감돈다. 크레이겔라키 1994의 향은 잘 익은 배와 자두, 붉은 오렌지가 풍성하게 쏟아지고 육두구와 생강의 향신료가 뒤를 받친다. 56.5도의 힘이 실린 입안에서는 오렌지와 자몽, 마르멜로가 밀려들고 전나무 꿀과 누가의 단맛에 오크의 타닌이 은근히 배어 있다. 14년의 숙성이 남긴 여운은 왁스에 감긴 향신료처럼 길게 이어지며 끝에 겨자씨의 알싸함을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
yes. The expected winning combo of beeswax and dried/fresh fruits. Ripe pears, plums, blood oranges (really, and there are loads of them)… And more blood oranges and pink grapefruits. Orange squash. Hints of nutmeg and ginger as well (and ginger tonic), most probably from the wood. With water: even fruitier. Orange blossom water and strawberry jam. Lychee liqueur and fresh mint. Almost extravagant
restaurant Palate
an avalanche of fruity and waxy notes. At random: oranges (just any kind), grapefruits (ditto), quinces, dried ginger, fir honey, nougat… Quite some oak in the background (green tannins – okay here.) Faint hints of wasabi and quite some pepper. Paprika. With water: keeps developing but doesn’t change directions. Dates and figs, a little salt, cardamom, green pepper…
timer Finish
rather long, more on waxy spices – or spicy wax – and a little mustard
