Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
well, it is the most citric of them all, perhaps the most precise, with exceptional clarity and freshness. Some kind of smoky cachaça this time. Lovely whiffs of grapefruits and hessian, coal ashes, and burnt pine wood. No raisins despite the sherry, we cheer… With water: hessian, dough, fresh baguette, rain-soaked fabric
restaurant Palate
this one’s millimetric indeed, extremely straight, on some ashes, grapefruit, green pepper and sea water combination. All that works a treat. With water: some excellent chenin blanc from the best parts of the Loire Valley. We’ve known some Savennières, for example…
timer Finish
long, grassier, greener, bitterer, but all that in sound measures
