Johnnie Walker 12 yo 'Black Label' (40%, OB, +/-2012) glenmorangieJohnnie Walker 12 yo 'Black Label' (40%, OB, + 2012) Colour: Gold. Nose: Slightly smoky, with distinct herbal notes in the background (coriander? Sorrel?) as well as a little aniseed on top of the expected toasted bread, orange marmalade and plain malt. Mouth: Toasty caramelly notes, a little smoked tea and liquorice. Good balance. Finish: Medium with black tea and a dry aftertaste.

Nose: it’s an appeased Caol Ila

in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region and 10 km from Saint-Emilion

Pastry dough

oaky with lots of intense dark fruits

A pretty fair palate that goes a bit towards good artisanal mezcal

and vanilla

Rich fruit and spice notes framed by freshness: citrus

On the palate it is a thick wine with firm tannins and a finish with a lot of black fruit

and warm baking spices from well‑integrated French oak

and a dash of white pepper

grated ginger

and make it just totally pleasant
