Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
the colour’s lighter but this baby’s actually got much more vanilla at first nosing, it’s certainly rounder, more civilised, with also more pastries (hot croissants!) Some toasted wood as well… Having said that, the coastal peatiness would wake up after a few seconds, together with notes of almonds, but everything remains gentle and civilised. With water: becomes wilder and drier. A lot of soot, ashes… The roundness disappeared, in a Jekyll and Hyde move
restaurant Palate
again, it’s sweet and creamy (mouthfeel) but it also becomes immensely citrusy, much more so than the 1997. Lemon and grapefruits, then pepper and peat. Quite perfect. With water: tropical fruits! I’m not saying this could be a 1966 but these grapefruits and passion fruits are welcome
timer Finish
long, slightly toasted again (bread). Very salty aftertaste
