Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

wait wait wait… smoked almonds, lanolin, putty and fresh paint, old books, grape-pip oil, olive margarine spread, then delicate small oysters (I've read about Kumamotos but I've never seen – let alone tasted – any of those)…. What's sure is that this is extremely subtle and, I would add, perfect on the nose. Let's only hope the palate isn't too weak

restaurant Palate

I'll say it, I find this sublime. The peat has already spread into several directions, fresh almond/nuts, tropical fruits (pink bananas first) and anything even remotely coastal. From old rubber dinghy to ark shell via oysters and razor clams. No, really, believe me. Astounding palate, while you wouldn't even notice the lightness. It is even a quality, and asset here

timer Finish

sure it is not very long, but it is glorious, mainly on salted citrus and fresh nuts. Wow
