Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine. You can’t do more refill than this
air Nose
it’s an austere Banff, sooty and oily, rather very mineral, with an herbal side. A walk in the forest, with whiffs of moss and fern, perhaps a little horseradish, then some sooty old concrete, some iron, cut grass, and a little porridge. Rainwater
restaurant Palate
amen. It is exceptional in its own Jansenist style. We’d have loved a little more power, but other than that, this is some perfect wine-malt, perhaps a little chenin blanc. We’re talking great Savennières or something, with plenty of sooty things, salted fresh walnuts, and of course this immaculate mustardy side. It’s the most mustardy of them all. Mustard on fresh walnuts, amazing flavours
timer Finish
pretty long – in fact it’s gaining power – and with an admirable lemon coming out. I told you, Savennières… It’s even got this flintiness that feels like smoke
