Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
the fumes from an old Citroën 2CV (they were the cheapest cars and now everyone wants them), some pure rocks, limestone, flints and chalk, rather a lot of iodine, sea air, then lemons, green gooseberries and rhubarb juice. Which will send shivers down your spine… No I won't forget to mention ashes. With water: we're brought to the Distillery, really. This smells of the stills, of the old concrete, of the nearby seawater and even of the manager's aftershave lotion. I'm joking now (in case you were wondering)
restaurant Palate
the kind that cuts you into halves of exactly the same dimensions, as we sometimes say. Lime juice in majesty and only a few other elements. Brilliant, simple, immaculate. With water: good soap, lime, chilli, pepper
timer Finish
long, brilliant, a tad too peppery, don't know why. Loses one point, while I was ready to climb up to the 90-mark. The aftertaste is a little more medicinal
