Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s the kind of rubbery peat that we get, as well as whiffs of burnt tyres, burning plastic and lemonade. Hard. With water: gets even dirtier. Smoked cheese, dust, lemon squash and aspirin tablets. A huge smokiness awakes after a good ten minutes, though, quite spectacular. You like smoke, you like this. Also whiffs of brand new sneakers (rubber, glue and all that)
restaurant Palate
much better than on the nose when neat, cleaner and fruitier. Smoked kiwis? Gets very ashy and kind of drying after a while. With water: now it’s frankly good, with an unusual and interesting strawberry drops/ashy peat combo. Unusual indeed
timer Finish
rather long, maybe a tad narrow. Bitter aftertaste (walnut skin)
