Subtle fruit on the nose, which comes across as less fresh than in other vintages. In addition, green herbs, tobacco, spices and medicinal-herbal notes. After some time in the glass, I think I detect a slight floral-spicy perfume note here as well. The nose shows a nice complexity and definitely makes you want more. On the palate, the herbs and floral notes become a bit more apparent, along with citrus freshness, light toastiness, and wood and spice. The bottom line is an appealing spectrum of flavors, which unfortunately remains too unbalanced for my taste. After tasting again, however, I round up slightly for the great nose and the basic aromatic complexity.

This one is far more complex than the younger one and especially the wood is more present. I like the herbal, minty and tobacco touch it has. Not your typical Saint James. There is a kind of medicinal note I can't put my finger on.

Sehr ungewöhnlicher Agricole. Springt richtig aus der Reihe. Medizinisch und kräuterig.

Tolle, rotgolde Farbe. In der Nase gefällt er mir sehr gut. Holzig, Kekse und Gewürze. Getrocknete Früchte und ein Hauch Blumen. Schönes Mundgefühl, voll und warm. Alkohol grad richtig. Der erste aus der Serie, von dem ich gerne eine Flasche zum Trinken hätte.

Großes VSGB-Vertical-live-Tasting von und mit Luca Gargano. 22.10.2022, 16:48. Wieder eine regenreiches Jahr, wenig zuckerhaltige im Zuckerrohr. daher ein selten zu findender Jahrgang. Nase: sehr ausgewogen holzig-würzig. Altes, aromatisches Sandelholz mit altem Kardamom- und Vanillepulver, dazu schwarze Johannisbeere und Blutorange. Hinten fast etwas Maggi. Kein Toffee, keine Seife. Gut. Gaumen: weich und ausgewogen holzig-würzig-nussig-minzig. Eine spürbare, jedoch eher angenehme Säure geht gleich ins aromatisch Holzige über. Hier dann Pekanuss mit Muskat, Vanille und Espresso. Eine leichte Orangen-Note bevor Gras und grüner Tee übernehmen. Platz: N: 9/10 G: 9/10

Ganz ungewöhnlicher St. James! Sehr viel Kräuter und medizinische Noten. Nicht ganz mein Geschmack.
