Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

much less expressive than the Signatory, almost closed. Hey-ho! Notes of apple skins, grass, malt, grain, green barley… Maybe a little biscuit, cider… And again something slightly mineral but that’s all. Let’s try to break it open with a little water… Yes, that sort of works, the malt getting more mineral, more elegant, with something ‘delicately’ farmy, hay, clean dog… Good news!

restaurant Palate

almost overpowering and extremely fruity (apples and pears), getting rather bitter… We need water… Okay, it does improve again. Much more complex, with quite some liquorice, toffee, caramel, mocha, Cointreau… It gets even very good! Amazing what a few drops of water can do, sometimes. The finish is long, balanced (with water), on pastries and milk chocolate. It’s the winner, thanks to the water! 84 points . MUSIC – Very strongly recommended listening - Especially if you're in an adventurous mood, innovative guitarist Nels Cline doing an extremely energetic (OK, and noisy) Suspended Heat.mp3 with his Nels Cline Singers - no singers here. Play it loud and enjoy! Now, if you're more into Enya or the Bay City Rollers, I'd understand you hate it ;-). But what a f*****g superb player he is! Please, please buy his music...
