Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
hold on, watch this! Haut-Brion blanc, or Laville right, with some honeysuckle, colza oil, kiwis, a little iron, pebbles, cider, a drop of Jerez vinegar, a lot of humus, damp earth, old wine barrel, dough roll, mead… Well I'm finding this nose just glorious, complex, and so very old-Bunnahabhain
restaurant Palate
such lower natural strengths are always a little scary (unnatural ones too I have to say), and indeed it's uncommon that these ones would fetch 90+ in my book, but this very one's refreshingly alive, full of tiny herbs and white, green or yellow berries, with various pale honeys, softer beers, plums, and indeed a feeling of wine. An old white Pessac-Léognan, for example…
timer Finish
medium, perfectly nervous, even a little tart, complex, with just drops of coconut and vanilla essences from the cask
