40 year old Tawny by Presidential
Posted: Sat May 12, 2007 12:54 pm
From a 375ml bottled in 2005. These notes are just after opening the bottle.
The color is a very light carmel and orange with a hint of green in it. The nose has some VA and hints of oak, slight toffee, and a faint herbalness to it. On the palate it is very rich and just explodes in the mouth and has waves of toasted almonds, glycerin, a touch of cedar and vanilla. Unfortunitly, the finish loses some of that compexity and is not super long, slighting reducing its overall score. None-the-less, a very tasty 40 year tawny and a good start to the day. 91-92 points
