Small 95 EMB X tasting: as expected, a dream in the glass. For me, a perfect harmony of wood, menthol and tropical fruit which can be perceived in varying strengths from nose to finish. Compared to the RA, the finish is super harmonious and not so dry.
Auto-translatedVery dark profile. Perfect balance between wood and fruit, far less bitter than I had feared. The 24 years of tropical maturation make this bottling very complex. There's a hint of chocolate mint in the background on the nose that I've never had before. If you give it the necessary time, it doesn't need to hide behind the other top 95 EMBs. Nice barrel that Mika has dug up.
Auto-translatedWith its 30 years on the hump, the oldest EMB 95 tasted so far. Super dark color. On the nose butterscotch, toffee, dried fruit, old cask, a light mentholated freshness. Mocha on the palate, lots of old cask and tannins, rather dry on the finish. Overall, I miss the balance that was still quite good in the 'younger' EMBs (more mango, papaya on the nose). Also very barrel-heavy on the palate...but of course still a very good EMB 95 (are there any bad ones?)
