Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

too bad we’re having this one after the stupendous 1966, it’s having a hard time competing when undiluted. A tad sourer and more lemony and buttery, without the exceptional crispiness that the 1966 displayed. Some tarry notes, still. With water: gets very tarry now, and more maritime as well. Loads of fresh almonds and raw clams. Wet newspapers

restaurant Palate

much, much better than on the nose when neat. Immensely lemony and peaty, albeit less complex than the 1966 again when undiluted. Kiwis, lime juice, lemon balm and fresh mint. With water: pure liquorice wood and mastic-flavoured gums

timer Finish

long, resinous and salty. Lemon marmalade
