Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

much rounder than the 2001, much more on vanilla and even less peaty. A bit silent I must say, but then there’s quite a mentholated blast, with also rather big notes of linseed oil, wood smoke, ashes, wet wood... Then it’s lemonade, ginger tonic, wet wool... And finally ‘peat’ as such, making a late but much-noticed arrival. This one got much more complex with time

restaurant Palate

excellent attack, all on grapefruits, peat, pepper and smoked tea. Excellent body at 46%. Gets even more citrusy with time, totally classic, with also, guess what? Salt (albeit less than in the youngster)

timer Finish

rather long, compact, satisfying, peaty and more orangey now. And salty of course
