Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

we’re not very far from the 17yo, only rougher, simpler and more spirity. A lot of melon again, brine (more than in the 17), freshly cut apples, fresh almonds and kiwis again. Also something slightly chemical (aspirins). Grassier as well. With water: it gets immensely grassy and ‘aspiriny’, even after quite some minutes. Water verboten here, no luck

restaurant Palate

very good attack, punchy, grassy and almondy, with notes of apples in the background. Too bad it gets then a tad spirity and kind of prickly, with quite some green tannins. With water: ah, this works now. More nervous and certainly fruitier, with a little fructose or icing sugar, jell-o, strawberries, vanilla… Not complex but mucho quaffable

timer Finish

medium long, clean, half-fruity half-grassy
