Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

very typical nose, with a rather big smoke bonfire but also coal) followed with many coastal notes (clams, oysters, fish, seaweed) and notes of walnut skin, apple peelings and almond oil, with also a little graphite and maybe ink rubber. Some tar as well. More smoky/tarry than lemony/fresh

restaurant Palate

not big and maybe a tad more ‘uncoordinated’ than on the nose, with a lot of salt right from the start on top of some liquorice and caramel. Even more salt after a moment, anchovies… Even plain brine. Quite spectacular in its genre

timer Finish

long for 40%, just as salty and ‘fishy’
