Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

a relatively light nose, with more apple juice and porridgy tones than straight smoke or even coastal stuff. Having said that, it’s becoming nicely medicinal, with some iodine and hints of antiseptic as well as more and more fresh almonds and a little olive oil. It’s all rather elegant and pretty discreet – and that’ not just the lower strength because I had a very long break after the 1990. Several hours!

restaurant Palate

medium strength and a blend of briny/coastal notes (oyster juice) with smoked almonds and a little lemon. Good and rather mellow. This feeling of oysters never stops growing, which is nice (granted, if you like oysters)

timer Finish

medium long, with a little more oak and smoked tea (you know, lapsang souchong). Very salty and ashy aftertaste
