Tasting Notes

Colour

deep gold

air Nose

Surprisingly soft. A beautifully fragrant coastal character of sea salt, lemons in brine and beach pebbles. Sandalwood, heather honey, coal smoke and a lovely mix of beach sand and crushed sea shells. There’s a familiar and syrupy herbal quality that gets increasingly prominent as well. Things like mint syrup, herbal ointments and old style cough mixture sweets. I find it extremely aromatic and fragrant. Wonderfully approachable despite the strength. With water: citronella, hessian and a big dial up on the seashore notes. Seaweed, rock pools, pebbles, chalk, bracken and hospital corridors. More medical aspects such as disinfectant and bandages

restaurant Palate

much bigger on arrival than the nose might suggest. Prickling with seashore freshness, minerals, citrus infused oils, gentle tar liqueur notes, old Benedictine and lapsang souchong. Underneath there’s green tea, dried wildflowers, tangerine, eucalyptus sweets and green olive. With water: perfect! Totally salty, mineral, medical, syrupy and with this wonderful fatness to the peat. You can add black olives, petrol, iodine and this persistent and terrific coastal character

timer Finish

very long. All on brine, both shares of olive, tar, parsley, ointments, sea salt and smoked shellfish
