Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

quite powerful. Lots of vanilla crème at first, getting grassy. Then the fruits emerge, with lots of pear and ripe gooseberry. Gets slightly woody and spirity. In short, not too complex but enjoyable

restaurant Palate

very powerful, on lemon, grapefruit, cider apples. Quite bitter but in a rather nice way. Grape seeds, cold over-infused tea, walnut skins, green apple, grass. Well, you get the picture, I guess. Long, bitter and sharp finish, almost prickling, on lemon peel. A malt that makes you able to count your vertebras when you swallow it – can be useful! 77 points . By the way, have you heard the news? Champagne and Cognac company Moët-Hennessy just bought Glenmorangie plc for £300m. MUSIC - Recommended - or should I say obligatory - listening: Mike Scott and The Waterboys singing Peace of Iona (mp3, 64kbps), a fantabulous song that comes from their excellent latest record 'Universal Hall'. ' Peace of the glancing, dancing waves... Peace of the white sands... Peace of Iona... Peace of the singing wind... Peace of the stones... Peace of Iona... ' To enjoy with a wild dram from the Islands, obviously... (thanks Nick). October 20, 2004 MUSIC - Again a young singer I didn't know yet: Rachael Sage . Have a listen to Sister Song (mp3) and judge by yourself. And oh, again, please buy the artists' CDs or purchase their downloadable music if you like their works! TASTING - THREE BOWMORES Bowmore 10 yo (50%, OB, 1990’s) An old bottling from around 1993
