Colour: Amber. Nose: Dense fig jam diluted with prune juice and cognac then topped with a fist full of sultans. Earthy, lean, pristine old school sherry permeating everything. Some notes of coal hearth and soy sauce, but generally this is about the density and intensity of the fruits. With water: please call the antimaltoporn brigade! In fact, I’m not sure I have the number for their New York branch... superbly and pristinely fresh, complex, earthy, luscious and increasingly spicy. Mouth: spectacularly intense and resinous. A generosity of dark and unctuous fruits along with whole shovels of moist earth, walnut wine, ancient pinot noir and baked raisins. Some meatiness as well in the form of game, then dried cranberries, black olive paste and mineral oil. Totally spectacular! With water: strawberry wine with more walnuts, fresh grapefruit, mint leaf, pipe tobacco... the list of flavours could go on and on. Finish: Endless, resinous, earthy, spicy, fruity... perfect and stunning in other words. Comments: Glen Grant 1972 captured at a perfect age from a totally stunning cask - what more to say...
