Serge Valentin (91)

Colour: dark straw. Nose: wowie, extremely fresh, flowery and fruity at more than 35 years old. Lots of notes of nectar and yellow flowers (buttercup, dandelion), fresh butter… As for the fruits, it’s a whole basket of white fruits such as gooseberries, small bananas, plantain, apples, yellow plums. Also quite some quince jelly, light honey, pineapple liqueur. Something of an old Balvenie, undoubtedly. Whiffs of sawdust (oak) and cider apples… Incredibly fresh and lively even if it’s not monstrously complex. I love it. Mouth: wow again! Sweet, nervous, very fruity, with lots of pineapple juice, icing sugar and candy sugar. Really youthful, with some nice notes of kiwi, strawberries and even a little passion fruit. It gets then a little cardboardy, in a nice way, and also rather spicy and gingery. Hints of aniseed and dill. The finish is medium long, fruity and slightly peppery (white pepper). An excellent surprise, this old Glenburgie! 91 points.
