air Nose
Indeed, this is the epitome of purity, cleanliness and pin-shape coastal inclusions. There’s also grapefruit acidity, lime, white flowers, chalk, stone fruits, guava. Very ‘1993’ in other words. Beautifully taut, structured and with an almost pristine salinity. With water: develops a big, bright and clear smokiness now. Bonfire smoke, tarry rope, camphor, lemon scented smelling salts and seawater. Wonderful!
restaurant Palate
brilliant arrival, all on green and exotic fruits such as melon, guava, mango, pineapple and passion fruit. Chalk, beach pebbles, cluttered minerals, bath salts, lime pith, kiln smoke and sandalwood ash. Feels rather like one of these old brown glass 12 year old from the 1980s at high strength. With water: there was a tension before between the smoke and the fruits, but water really negotiates a beautiful truce between these forces and adds in these wonderfully textural layers of oily peat. Some dusty notes, dried seaweed, smoked sea salt and a few crystallised exotic fruit notes
timer Finish
long, citric, perfectly coastal, fresh, invigorating and still wonderfully briny, smoky and lightly oily
