Tasting Notes

Colour

pale white wine

air Nose

gooseberry and green apple juice, wool and chalk, almond paste, leaven and baker's yeast, gherkin brine… Not much wood influence to say the least, while I hear no complains (from my part). With water: fully on raw wool

restaurant Palate

tight and tense, hyper-vertical (the Jungfrau, I tell you), all on brine and lime juice, mezcal, seawater… With water: careful, it would cut you. Raw kirschwasser, more seawater, carbon and ink, ashes aplenty, salty doughs…

timer Finish

long and ultra-tight
