Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely dry, and extremely austere at first nosing, almost Jansenist if I may say so. Rocks, clay, earth (or even mud), coal, tar, leaves, putty, soot… It’s only after a good ten minutes that more bitter orange and fresh walnut notes do show up, but the whole never quite becomes fruity. There’s also more medicinal notes, disinfectant… And then the expected pepper. With water: more ‘coastality’. Oysters and lemon
restaurant Palate
big, earthy, leafy, rooty and peaty attack, with quite some brine underneath. Very dry yet again, sharp, very austere, but I love this. With water: more medicinal, Islay-style. More sea stuff as well (to keep all this as short as possible)
timer Finish
maybe not very long but ashier. Also a little olive oil, with something tannic? Also lemons, salt, pepper, oysters…
