Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s so unlikely… New Renault (forget about that, any brand new car with a lot of plastic inside), plastic pouches, aspirin, leatherette and then indeed, mustard. Plain, shiny, spicy and very odorous mustard. Then more chalk and clay, grass… Yeah, a polarising nose. Some whisky freaks will love it because it’s so different, but frankly, it’s quite… arh, err, unlikely. No I didn’t write ‘flawed’
restaurant Palate
what a pull-up, so to speak! It’s perfect Banff now, all on sweet mustard and Greek retsina wine (and not the crap for tourists!) Pepper, tonic water, sweet ginger liqueur (it seems that Domaine de Canton is the trendy name these days – I like it but warning, it’ll leave your palate completely wrecked for at least two hours)… It’s still a little unlikely but it’s quite spectacular, especially at 43% vol
timer Finish
medium long, falling apart a bit now, becoming quite cardboardy
