Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
starts on big whiffs of vanilla that manage to dominate the peat for a good twenty minutes, before typical notes of brine break through. Huge notes of brine. Gets then even more coastal but in a ‘wider’ manner, with seashells and seaweed. Also fresh walnuts and cider apples. Moderately peaty so far. Maybe tiny-wee hints of tangerines and mangos in the background of the background. With water: cleaner and more mineral. Very narrow but very pure. Whiffs of wet wool
restaurant Palate
punchy, crystal-clean, ultra-zesty, mega-crisp attack on lemon and seawater, with just sweet traces of orange drops in the background (which is funny). Again, a moderate peatiness here, but… sorry, AND it’s all good (I’m no peat freak, peat seems to be almost out of fashion these days anyway according to some Belgian trendsetters ;-)). With water: the coastalness (ah well) comes out, with more salt, more oysters (slurp!) and a little lemon-flavoured marzipan as well as more ‘peppery peat’
timer Finish
long, clean, peaty, peppery, salty. More lemon in the aftertaste
