Another high quality bottling out of the „vintage“ ECS range at a very good price point. Delivers the classic Foursquate notes at a high ABV (ie high intensity), providing a nice sipping experience. Side-by-side with the 2010 ECS, this one is more „classic FS“ on the lose, while the 2010 has (even after quite some oxidation in the opened bottle) much more glue in the nose. On the palate both are closer. Yet the 2011 is more round and balanced, while the 2010 version delivers some more punch.
8,8:On the nose we firstly find cinnamon buns😄! When we move forward there is a cooperation between zesty lemon and olive/almondy oil top note that goes through and over delicious caramel with notes of white chocolate, fresh ginger and dried, toasted coconut. Airing brings toasted wood and fresh, juicy tropical fruits, bourbon fruits like stewed peaches, juicy prunes and some dried fruits as well. Pure deliciousness.... 😋. 9,2:On the palate we are attacked with treacle tart and vanilla ice cream covered with juicy sultanas, tropical fruits like tasty mango and passion fruit, poached bourbony summer fruits and crispy, tender tart plums at the end.We get a little bit of drieness here which is in harmony with fruity sweetness. 9,2:The finish is extraordinary with blueberry, connecting the notes of fresh ginger, black cherry, with a warm finish, lingering drieness and pepper, sweet spice at the end. If we compare 2010 and 2011, this one is even more rounded, harmonious, complex and very smooth. No afterburn at all, inspite of 60% ABV. TOP👌🙂...
Classic Foursquare! I am thoroughly enjoying this one, which has a lovely mouthfeel which is quite oily/creamy. It has quite a nose on it. On the palate I am getting coconut, vanilla, wood, and a natural sweetness in the background. I prefer this over the 2010 with a superior nose and mouthfeel.
