Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

much fruitier than the 2013, with ripe mirabelle plums and apples, even cider. As a result, the peat seems lighter at this stage. With water: and voilà, again a new jumper in pure virgin wool and porridge. Also cold smoke, as in a kiln that hasn't been used since the last festival

restaurant Palate

still that lovely fruitiness on the attack, but then quite massive white and green peppers come in, further accentuating the much more brutal peat on the palate. With water: similar. One wonders if there's some cabernet here, bringing in its notes of pepper and green and red bell pepper

timer Finish

long, quite harsh, peppery, but plum jam comes through to rebalance everything in the aftertaste
