Tasting Notes

Colour

pale white wine

air Nose

ah fine, right between some fresh pear and lime juice, some fresh artisanal cachaça, and a fresh green coastal smokiness that’s very Caol Ila. Keyword: freshness. You may throw in a few cherries, fresh mushrooms, plus the obligatory oysters and the fumes from my neighbour’s old lawnmower. Still young yet not too young. With water: damp fabric, beach sand, kelp, used charcoal and small whelks (any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental). Classic

restaurant Palate

very bright, tense, mineral, ultra-vertical as they now say in wine. Crushed chalk and ashes in mercurochrome. With water: extremely typical, rather creamy, with touches of preserved apricots on top of the expected salty/charcoaly development

timer Finish

long, with more brine, lime, a feeling of linoleum, and those oysters again. Very salty aftertaste, almost tarry ala Port Ellen
