Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

unexpectedly ultra-fermentative with waxy tallow, roasted artichoke, pickled mushrooms, rainwater, bison grass, ale, and a whiff of mentholated tobacco. An intriguing bouquet that works surprisingly well, though one must question the decision to bottle it at 40%; by the time it reaches Europe, it’s likely shed a degree or two (just a cheeky thought)

restaurant Palate

quirky and delightfully so. Strongly fermentative, smoked with an indeterminate natural element, peppery, woody, and bitter, but all wrapped with a pleasant touch of bitter orange and deeply dark chocolate. The emphasis on its idiosyncrasies in this base expression is commendable, especially with that meaty sweetness emerging as it opens—honey and chilli-glazed beef jerky, perhaps

timer Finish

fairly long, quite bitter, and smoky, showcasing smoked paprika and cocoa powder
