RYF is an independent bottler. With this edition, Duncan Taylor pays a sort of tribute to one of his colleagues.
Let's Taste It :
Varnished wood, thick caramel, cranberry syrup, prunes, a barely perceptible wisp of smoke, hazelnuts and chocolate cream, peanut butter, exotic fruits that gently impose themselves, papaya, mango, maracuja, a touch of genoise and candy sugar, candied fruits galore, with an ounce of iodine and lemon, or maybe sour apple, pistachio. Slightly salty and earthy. The palate is liquorish, a bit bland but with lemon and apple, then the spices, which are quite strong, draw the attention. Woody, cough syrup, pear and apricot, with a light, fruity, fairly long finish. Then the wood returns, with a hint of soft caramel.
In Short,
Very subtle and original, you shouldn't hesitate if you find a copy of this now unobtainable nectar at a reasonable price.
Score : 88
