Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
White wine
air Nose
a big, chiselled, sharp and precise kiln blast of smoke at first nosing. Peat smoke and a greasier, more industrial variety as well. Underneath there are some little suggestions of various green and tropical fruits nudging their way out. Sea air, wax, camphor, peat oils and something pleasingly Mezcal-esque all vie for position. With Water: it now becomes quite gravelly with wet pebbles and more overt seashore notes. Some sea greens and old kreel nets knocking about in there somewhere
restaurant Palate
A salty old dog! Wool, hessian, chalky phenols, black pepper, BBQ sauce and smoky bacon. A big, dry, ashy, precise and vaguely mineral palate that dials the salt almost up to eleven. With water: peat, various oils, lemon juice, liquid smoke, some tar - those fruits glimpsed on the nose feel far away, this is a bit of a beast
timer Finish
good length with plenty lingering smoke and some lemon juice sharpness
