HAMPDEN 13 ans 2010 LROK Magnum Series #2

Nose : Refined, distinguished. Notes of beeswax, candied fruit (pear, Mirabelle plum) and camphor form a lively first sequence. Allowed to breathe, heady fragrances of geranium, hyacinth and iris elegantly fill the air.

Appearance : Vieil or.

Palate : Full-bodied, well-structured. The powerful flavour palette opens with liquorice and chocolate. Saturated with flavours of petrol and smoked bacon, it becomes increasingly empyreumatic, while maintaining a lovely smooth, fruity character (pineapple, banana).

Overall : Long, intense. Particularly compact, the tasting continues with densely packed notes of sugarcane, hot brown sugar and tarmac. New candied fruits (kiwi, quince, apricot) make for a sweet finish very typical of Hampden.
