Tasting Notes
Colour
neon rosé!
air Nose
if you could smell in colours then this one certainly smells pink. Hard not to think of things like rosewater, pomegranate syrup and cranberry jelly. It isn’t particularly cloying though, just brimming with red fruits and sweet strawberry jam. With water: riddled with port now. Cloying red fruits, strawberry laces, red liquorice and, indeed, some kind of summery rosé wine
restaurant Palate
seriously, this is some kind of mixed red fruit jam. Strawberry granita drenched in red kola and raspberry liqueur. Grenadine, peach schnapps, lime cordial, cassis mixed with crémant. Madness. With water: at first you think the Glen Elgin might be having the temerity to fight back but someone upends several punnets of pureed red berries on top of it. Blackcurrant liqueur, bramble jam, strawberry wine. Madness!
timer Finish
medium and getting quite tart and sharp
