| I'm afraid the Bruichladdich 20yo 'Flirtation' (46%, OB, Second Edition, Bottled 2004) could have suffered a bit from the 'death seat' position right after the magnificent Legacy III. The nose was very sweet (flirtation indeed) with a hint of olive oil. Grainy with some sour notes. Organics, but no peat. It seems simple and doesn't show a lot of development. This one redeems itself on the palate, though. Fruity with lots of lovely tannins playing with your gums. Over time the tannins become a tad overpowering. The finish is dry with a bitterness that reminded me of cold tea. Score: 84 points. | Colour: Mediterranean sunsets. Body: To die for! The texture is sensuously soft with a wicked viscosity that clings to the palate. Nose: The spicy lush succulent Mourvèdre grapes starburst over the olfactory senses. The fragrance of sweet red fruit is sensational and proves to be the perfect stimulant for the more demure Laddie with its sweet vanilla oakiness. The potency as the flavours meld together brings elegance and complexity, each bringing beguiling aromas where neither overpowers. Do not add even a teardrop of water. Palate: Take the sweet malty fruit flavours of Bruichladdich together with the creaminess of toffee and sweet American oak plus the Mourvèdre affair and the outcome is a velvety smooth experience that makes this beautiful single malt just a little bit special. Finish: Graceful and absolutely unforgettable. |
