Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

yeah, there, this is older Jura, more metallic, almost feinty, with notes of yogurt, sourdough, ammonia, fern, branches, old walnuts, raw grassy brandy (not-destemmed marc de Bourgogne), old tools lying in an old garage (in that old manor, perhaps)… With water: something died in the barrel, perhaps. Mice? Also embrocations, bandages, chalks, oranges, kumquats… Well, in truth, it really improves a lot once reduced, becoming almost civilised

restaurant Palate

oh yeah, I remember. Plastics, sour fruits, glue, acetone, plaster, very bitter oranges. With water: love it now! It’ whacky and weird, but it’s plain straightforward Jura, very idiosyncratic, amusing, and astonishing. Mustard, spinach and brussels sprouts, how does that sound for a soup? I mean, for a whisky?

timer Finish

long, on more plastic, walnuts, and sea salt
