Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
we'll it's still a bit violent, but there is this very complex, mineral kind of lemonness that cannot not make us think of St. Magdalene. Some bandages, some iodine, anti-rust paint, carbolineum, plaster, a little moisture, metal polish, and then zests and fruit peel, mainly apple peel. Not a gentle, 'tropical and topical' Banff this far. With water: wooh, it got much gentler, we're reminded of some apricot tarte, orange cake and just some good cider
restaurant Palate
very tight, full of green fruits, granny smith, raw rhubarb, a little capsicum, then olive oil and, indeed, some wonderful tart tropical fruits starting to find their way out. First fiddles, passion fruits and grapefruits! With water: perfect. I'm sure it improved over the years. Mojito, lime juice, olive oil, grape pip oil, plus this minerality, between chalk and aspirin tablets. Stewed rhubarb
timer Finish
a wonderful 17 + 29. 17 years in (refill) wood, 29 years in glass, and probably no light, it doesn't have 'the taste of light' or 'the taste of glass'. Notes of green bananas
