Prunier Borderies 1978 52,8%​

Another vintage one from Prunier. 52,8%, so a bit higher in terms of ABV. Let’s go!

Colour: Orange, amber lights. Irregular heavy tears.

Nose: Warm profile. Full of various spices. Nice fresh notes in the background. I miss a bit of complexity with this one too. 

Mouth:  Oily texture. Warm heathery notes. It feels a bit oaky in the aftertaste. A lack of complexity and finesse here. Sadly, it feels quite obvious with the other Borderies tasted just before. 

Last Notes: Hints of floral notes, but not very Borderies-like in fact. Nice fruity sides and a solid dry day rancio. It feels more like an elegant middle-aged Fins Bois.

Not too bad, not too bad. But I can’t go higher than 88 with this one.
