Tasting Notes
Colour
chardonnay
air Nose
chardonnay. I am not joking! Some nice blanc de blancs from the Côte des Blancs, plus some gooseberries, granny smith, some fresh butter, apple juice, candle wax, a cup of celeriac juice, one of carrot juice, just a little custard, and the signature white asparagus that sometimes – not often – appear in civilised Springbanks. Let's put this straight, this could have been Clynelish just as well
restaurant Palate
it was not quite a nosing whisky, the palate's having it. Fantastic roots and waxes, tart green fruit (the same apples, greengages, kiwis) and this extraordinary chalkiness that would remind us of some great… terroiry chardonnays indeed. Limestone, do you hear me? I've had a little Auxey-Duresses the other day… that's all I'm saying! In any case, Sponge or not Sponge, this palate is perfect
timer Finish
rather long, very elegant, with a few medicinal touches and even a little fennel and aniseed
