Nose: A huge vanilla cake and a no less huge brioche at first nosing, then more toasts, praline, barley water and the expected milk chocolate and softer oranges. After that, myriads of tinier yet rather aromatic notes such as orange blossom, aniseed, maybe rosewater and then a little smoke again. Hay. Lovely nose. With water:

As the glass and evening progress

bitter almonds

roasted nuts

1995 Glenburgie

A seductive aroma with creamy flesh cherries

The stony mineral and touches of smoke really leap out of the glass with time in the glass

Whiffs of camphor

Intensely concentrated in flavor

The palate is quite full and well-balanced

The Bas Armagnac area

Maybe touches of a little milk or dairy cream

Gets then very meaty (smoked ham)
