Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
akin to the ex-bourbons, really, with perhaps a little more smoke (garden bonfire, strongly verboten since a good twenty years), granny smith, gooseberries and greengages, some green pepper, oyster shells… With water: falls in line and starts to display doughs, croissants and almond cakes. Good boy!
restaurant Palate
more green smoke, while someone's thrown fennel seeds and pinecones into the fire. The oak may feel a little more too, with indeed green spices spread all over the usual citrus fruits. A little more extractive than the others. With water: water brings more spices out, curry, caraway, juniper… In all softness. Gets a little drying though
timer Finish
medium, with touches of tobacco and rubber when watered down. On the other hand, you can't only quaff this little beauty at 59.5%
