Tasting Notes

Colour

chardonnay

air Nose

not an easy follow-up to the Sestante, but this one holds its own for now, in a style completely opposite, creamier, more polished, thanks to the assertive oak. That said, freshness remains: smoked lemon, oysters, brine, wet ashes… With water: unchanged

restaurant Palate

it works, rich, slightly spicy (cask ‘curry’), but also full of excellent fruit pastes, quince, orange... With water: the saltiness now emerges from the wood. The oak itself is a touch dominant (nutmeg, pepper, ginger)

timer Finish

fairly long, quite cask-driven, with lingering spice
