| TASTING NOTE: The solid brown/topaz/sorrel color bewitches the eye; ideal clarity. The wonderfully zesty aroma is spiced with nutmeg, black pepper, lemon, and thyme in the opening two minutes; later inhalations following aeration highlight tightly wound notes of margarine, lanolin, dark caramel, buttery oak, and holiday fruitcake. The palate entry is rich, creamy, and honeyed; at midpalate there’s a strong sense of older spirit in the overall woody/creamy flavor that smacks of rancio beginnings. Finishes semisweet, cocoa- and maple sugar-like, and intensely oaky. A musketeer’s mouthful of robust, mature, and, most pleasing of all, gentlemanly brandy. Score: 5 Stars (out of 5) (F. Paul Pacult, Kindred Spirits 2, 2008) |
