Tasting Notes
Nose
This is an inviting nose; an explosion of smells. Despite the alcohol content there is nothing astringent when smelling the glass. This nose is, however, very peculiar. We start with pear and ripe green apple before evolving into chardonnay. The sweet fruits give way to some spring flowers and dry honey. There are dark earth notes throughout baking spice perhaps? I cannot place them exactly, only that they hang on with the other notes.
Palate
We begin with tart espresso coffee and milk chocolate. Upon a second sip we can find notes of oatmeal cookies and overly ripe stone fruits. There is also something herbal, like black tea and currant, but its difficult to place. With a third sip the notes all coalesce, along with the funk of something left alone for a decade and a half. The mouthfeel is excellent, it is oily and clings to the teeth. It lingers, and lingers, and lingers. The finish is extremely smooth, with only a quick bite against the throat before settling into the stomach.
