Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

almonds, whelks, clams, softer rubber, mutton suet, bacon (or culatello, thanks again Massimo), then rather coal dust and brake pads. With water: aromas from the nearest woods, in this case fern, mosses, oak leaves and pine needles

restaurant Palate

very acidic, a little astringent, ultra-grassy for sure, on citrus peel and Himalaya salt (I'm not trying to be smart, it's very specific, no, really). With water: totally lemon and grapefruit, zests, flesh and juices

timer Finish

back to salt and mercurochrome, plus olive brine. Some unexpected varnish in the aftertaste
