Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

not ‘hugely big’ but ultra-clean, smoky, peaty and mineral. Wet stones, wet wool, oysters, iodine, fusel oil and fresh walnuts. That’s pretty all but it’s already more than enough. Very straightforward

restaurant Palate

unexpected oomph at 43%! Peat, oysters (really, it tastes like peppered oysters), liquorice… Very enjoyable hints of fudge and even café latte, vanilla crème… Not very obvious but well here

timer Finish

rather long, saltier but also less ‘coastal’. Dates? Maraschino
