air Nose
oh my, I had thought the CI6 was sharp, well this is even sharper, even more mineral and even more ‘pleasantly narrow’. Love the whiffs of damp earth and fennel in the background, though… And do I not detect gentian and wormwood? With water: the sweeter side comes out. Apples, a little marzipan, sweet barley, then raw wool and farmyard…
restaurant Palate
similar to the CI6. Plenty of lime juice, roots, bitter tea, pepper… I also seem to find touches of coconut, most probably from the American wood. No quite pina colada though, this is not ********. With water: same changes again, although once again, this one’s a notch earthier. Lime, salt…
timer Finish
long, clean, lemony, a tad fruitier than the CI6. Marzipan. The coconut is back in the aftertaste
