Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
very pale white wine
air Nose
imagine a blend of olive brine, wet chalk, freshly mown grass, tiny wild apples or medlars, and the driest and most acidic of white wines, which we shall refrain from naming out of Christian decency. The cask was no doubt a lazy bastard. With water: not the slightest change, even brought down to around 45% vol. It doesn’t shift an inch – must be its Vladimir Vladimirovich side
restaurant Palate
that barley eau-de-vie character at first, then massive dollops of concentrated lemon juice, wheatgrass juice (very fashionable in 1980s juice bars), and once again a good dose of chalk. Also a faint hint of tourist-grade pisco. With water: the bitterness comes to the fore, a touch of something chemical, very rustic pulque, and just a little sugar syrup that manages to soften things ever so slightly
timer Finish
rather long, sweet and bitter, aromatically basic
