Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

yes, these slightly animal touches, these whiffs of farmyard, dog, then paint and putty, lobster, linseed oil, sesame and raisins… A different game altogether, much farmier. With water: burning manure, garden bonfire, orange squash

restaurant Palate

super good, full of candied fruits, as in some proper cassata ice cream. Behind that, Asian wines and drinks, umeshu and all that. Prune wine. Love it. Please note that I'm totally aware of the fact that writing 'Asian' is terribly myopic and that we know very well that every country and even every region or even tiny town has got its own stunning delicacies. End of shameful PC statement. With water: excellent, just a tad fattish and sweetish here and there. Syrupy, as we sometimes write

timer Finish

long, saltier, so excellent
