Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

perhaps it’s the higher strength, but this one feels much oilier and fatter than the others, pistachio oil, olive oil, before moving on to roots, carrots, seaweed, and even winkles. With water: penetrating now, penetrating oil, motor oil, then chalk and virgin wool

restaurant Palate

some rather unusual petroly notes for CI, paraffin, damp cardboard… I reckon water will sort that out. With water: still a bit of that cardboardy and even faintly cologne-y edge, otherwise we’re back on ashes and seawater

timer Finish

long, briny, almost slightly vinegary. And yes, still a touch of wet cardboard
