Im November 2011 ausgewählt und im Jänner 2012 abgefüllt und nun von Serge Valentin verkostet: Unser Imperial 16yo 1995/2012
Und das meint Serge zu unserem Dram:
Colour: gold. Nose: quite some oak for a start, this could have been re-racked in newish wood, with a fairly heady vanilla, some maple syrup and whiffs of broken branches and new sawdust. It’s a pleasant feeling I must say. After that, more grassy, slightly yeasty touches that give it more ‘naturality’, fresh white bread, garden fruits and touches of hay. Also roses? Mouth: same feeling, the oak talks first (grape pips), then it’s a combo of apples, oranges, gooseberries and peaches. White pepper and cinnamon (oak). A little cardamom. Finish: medium long, clean, on green tea and apples. Comments: a very good middle-aged Imperial in my opinion. Well selected, Austria! SGP:451 – 84 points.
