Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Springbank |
Very light golden color. Intense, smoky, spicy, vanilla-driven, caramel nose. Harmonious, well structured, spicy, warm vanilla custard flavours with a lingering, somewhat cedary, faint pepper-tinged finish. Much better than when it last appeared in Vintages (**/**+) on October 1, 2011 at $80.95 and was Recommended Best Buy. |

TASTING NOTE: Wonderful bouquet features aromas of sawdust, dry cheese, lanolin, wax paper, peatreek, chalk, kippers, unused Band-Aid, medicine chest and dried tobacco leaf. Palate entry offers flavors of tobacco smoke, smoked fish, honey and grain; mid palate adds tangy flavors of spiced rum, vanilla cake frosting, cocoa butter, milk chocolate and sweet oak. Concludes with vivid tastes of grain, cheese, dried fruit and brown sugar. Classic. Highest Recommendation. Score: 96-100 (F. Paul Pacult, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 15, 2009) |
