Tasting Notes

Colour

Sylvaner white. Ha

air Nose

smoked rhubarb, cider apples, crème de menthe, aniseed, genepy and seaweed, plus a wee sachet of Gummi Bears. Incredibly precise, razor-sharp, unstoppable

restaurant Palate

a quick note that not all 1974s were glorious—some bottlings were quite debatable. That said, here we have very nice purity, almonds, marzipan, sesame oil, and what one might fairly call a salty peat…

timer Finish

medium length, touches of boot polish, apple, lemon and seawater. It trails off a little, shall we say…
