Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
a delicate one, with first carnations, then waxed papers and beach sand. Some 'clean' engine oil, paraffin, drawing gum and fixing fluid. Then a little chenin blanc, in a pretty Savennières kind of way. With water: back to waxes, paraffin, and even a little butter, probably from the hogshead. Better yet, proper mashed potatoes, 50% potatoes and 50% butter
restaurant Palate
subtle brines and Timut pepper, more oils, seawater, oysters, pink grapefruits… This is just awesome. With water: the butter is back but in small amounts, otherwise granny smith, lime, and the greenest gooseberries ever, wrapped in carbon paper or something like that
timer Finish
good length, classic salty CI of good age
