Tasting Notes

Colour

very pale white wine

air Nose

immaculate, simple, straightforward. Green apples, langoustines, ashes, wet chalk. You can swap the langoustines for grey shrimp from the Belgian coast. With water: wood glue, lime, oysters from Loch Gruinart (to keep it local – not Swiss, mind you)

restaurant Palate

a very powerful, salty, and smoky lemon. I'm not sure it should be tasted in this state. With water: there you go, high-precision chalkiness, saltiness, and lemon. A slight medicinal touch as well

timer Finish

long, like a true blade. Lemon, chalk, peat
