Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
we aren’t far from the 1968 but this is less expressive and more on milk and porridge at first nosing. Tapioca, oatcakes, then more soot and grass, green tea, fresh mushrooms... Also whiffs of chives and rosemary, wet gravel, fresh cement and then more and more cut grass. Austere, very austere… With water: more grass and a little custard. Clay
restaurant Palate
certainly creamier and fruitier than the 1968, with more lemon and orange zests on top of the very grassy and spicy profile. Capsicum again, juniper berries, grapefruits, earth, fresh mushrooms, peat… In truth, it’s quite a beast. With water: it got wonderful! Perfect earthy style, with just the right amount of pepper and smoke and many candied lemons and kumquats in the background
timer Finish
very long, on lemon zests, pepper and even a little wasabi
