Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
you know, we were that impressed with the 1972s that any subsequent vintage used to be deemed as 'much less peaty'. But in truth, and this is a perfect example, these vintages were still very peaty. It starts extremely coastal, really on oysters and any other living beings from the sea, before some typical whiffs of brown coal and 'farmyard' would start to emerge. What's sure is that I find it much purer and brighter than before after all those years, but maybe is that the effect of perfect bottle ageing? With water: gets awesomely medicinal. Old-style mercurochrome (remember when it was red) and wet crushed limestone. Very pure, with a farminess that's, well, gone. Some perfect rubber too (new scuba suit)
restaurant Palate
fantastically lemony. Salted lemon cake and oysters with lemon. It is extremely compact, which is totally an asset in this context. With water: perfect zing. Crystal clean coastal peat, well I find it more coastal than any Islays
timer Finish
long, blade-y, extremely vertical. And medicinal
