Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a magnificent arrival on the nose, with citrus fruits, seaweed, ashes, camphor, and kumquats, followed by a clearly evident great white wine character. Think of a grand white Burgundy, for example. Impressive touches of honeysuckle, quince, and mirabelle plums, even evoking a great Blanc de Blancs Champagne. Splendid and incredibly gentle. Three drops of diesel in the background, likely from the peat. With water: fresh mastic, pencil eraser, carbon paper, cigar ash, and a very light note of wet dog
restaurant Palate
exceptional, both taut and oily at once, with citrus peels, yuzu, a small smoked oyster (a Korean specialty), Sichuan pepper, and a tiny spicy touch... It’s superb. With water: evokes old citrus- and herb-based liqueurs, though hard to pin down precisely. Light saline and mineral notes, chalk, clay, and once again a grand white Burgundy
timer Finish
medium length but with perfect structure. Citrus, mint, light smoke, resins, and a touch of hydrocarbons at the end
