Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

totally the opposite of BB&R's, extremely taut, with new rubber, lanolin, bitter herbs, flint, and chalk, then oyster shells and a very mineral peat. Followed by ash and fish oil. With water: an abundance of freshly cut grass

restaurant Palate

it's really very good, with varnish, concentrated lemon juice, utterly unripe apple, and seawater. A bit for the masochists, but I count myself among them. With water: a lemon that sends vibrations down your spine

timer Finish

long, somewhat more classic, with plenty of ash and a bit of pine. Pine ash
