Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
slightly lighter gold
air Nose
the difference between these two is far narrower than the 12s but it is still distinct enough to notice. Here we’re still in this kind of coastal, elegant, sooty, medical ballpark but it maybe lacks the deeper, more gentle peat tones of the 2002. It’s also leaning more towards freshly chopped herbs (parsley, chives), fresh oysters, lemon juice mixed with sunflower oil and natural tar extract. Clean, pin sharp and super fresh with a wee antiseptic touch
restaurant Palate
ooft. Here the difference shines far more clearly. And we’re going in the same kind if direction as the 12s. More salinity, more purity and a far more direct minerality. Anchovy paste, wet pebbles, cloves, hessian, white pepper and smoked mackerel
timer Finish
long with a kind of sooty/smoky/peaty triplet note. Smoked fish, putty, tar, dried herbs, miso and a rather grassy and punchy olive oil
