Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

we are actually very close and the 'feeling' is the same, which is to say the same discombobulation and cognitive dissonance strikes fast and deep! However, I do believe you notice that extra point in the form of slightly more pronounced exotic fruit character and perhaps an even more elevated sense of farmyard, mechanical and waxy qualities. At this level of the 100-point scale, remember that the distance between points becomes quite wide and to go from 95 to 96 is quite a jump that can be written about in potentially great detail. You'll be greatly relieved to know that I don't intend to do that today. With water: an artwork in distillate form. Salty coastal qualities, fruits, waxes, medicines, oils - everything that's already been mentioned but the immense power and elegance of its presentation is mind blowing

restaurant Palate

yes! Utterly astonishing, the same as its sibling, but every aspect is elevated slightly but noticeably. The most striking deviation is the fruit intensity, not only tropical and citrus fruit flavour, but also this sense of acidity and gelatinous texture as well. You feel like there might be mango pulp in your glass at points. Utterly spellbinding power, salinity, waxiness and fatness. With water: goes up even further in terms of texture and mind-melting fruity power

timer Finish

astonishingly long and mesmeric, drenched in sharp, intense exotic fruits, minerals, oils, fatty waxes and mechanical/medicinal combinations
