Professional reviews

Serge Valentin (80)

Colour: straw/white wine. Nose: little sherry, and a rather porridge-y start that would also involve menthol and autumn leaves. Also liquorice and various leaves, then more beer, around ale and bitter. There might be some Old Bottle Effect taking place, but the palate will tell us more… Mouth: yes indeed, a little OBE, towards metal polish and plasticine, but other than that there’s a wonderful development on cider apples and citrons, very lively, very juicy, with a good cut. Orange blossom water. Finish: rather long given the strength, orange-y, tart… Comments: a very fresh, almost sherry-less older expression. A better batch than other old 12s in my opinion, some used to be a little weak
