Tasting Notes

Colour

White wine

air Nose

Fatter and more austere than the 21, which was to be expected to be honest. A muscular and rather chiselled profile with lots of earth, some wax, a little hessian, plenty seashore character and some rubbed lemon skins. Becomes very mineral with many of these flinty and wet rock notes. Some sheep’s wool, a little lime zest and perhaps a dried apricot or two. With water: gets leafier and greener with water. Some grassiness, a touch of chamomile, some ink and a bit of chalk

restaurant Palate

Continued this fat, waxy and somewhat austere theme. Maybe a tad brutal in fact. White fruits, some wild flowers, a little pollen and again and rather all-encompassing coastal quality. With water: sunflower oil, a saline parma ham note and a few green and black olives in brine. Powerful stuff!

timer Finish

Long and lemony with big salty notes, a few more white fruits and a resurgent waxy and seashore note. Pretty uncompromising really
