Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

well, it starts extremely mineral (mineralic as Angus would say), very austere, ridden with notes of flints, guns that were just used, aspirin tablets, then bandages, burning grass and herbs, burnt artichokes… I wouldn’t call it sexy so far, but let’s see what happens once water’s been added… With water: new wellies, new tyres, rock dust, gravel, you see…

restaurant Palate

huge lemony, aspiriny, cinchona-y arrival, you’d even believe you’re having bitters… neat. You’re also chomping on cactus leaves and burnt broccoli. I know. With water: gentler and fruitier, but all on sharp citrus, grapefruit, lime, bitter oranges…

timer Finish

very long, with some green pepper this time, and peat smoke. A feeling of having just eaten orange peel in the aftertaste
