Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
pale barley, very soft acacia honey, almost acacia nectar in fact, the usual apples, fresh mint, cold-brew green tea, then a small dab of proper lady’s face cream and a vanilla touch. What we do not quite find at this stage is tropical fruit, except perhaps the faintest suggestion of ripe banana
restaurant Palate
grapefruit pips and bitter orange zest step in, the rest being much more rustic than on the nose, far more herbal too, with more ginger ale and a slightly turmeric-like side. We do feel tempted to add water… With water: it draws out the oak on the nose and the fruits on the palate, which is most welcome. Oranges, greengages, melon…
timer Finish
fairly long and curiously brighter, almost lemony
