Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
much fun to be had with this baby, as it’s not totally clear, which is an asset under these circumstances. What I’m trying to say is that you’ll find several vintages in one, or rather several styles gathered for your enjoyment. Tropical fruits from the 1960s, more yeasty muddiness from the mid 1970s, and more crystal-clean coastal/mineral smokiness from the early-to-late 1990s. How cool is that? With water: swims like the imaginary son of Mark Spitz and Shirley Babashoff. Utterly perfect nose, state of the art, with this typical muddiness that’s so lovely. Or there, wet dogs (we’ll be eternally sorry, dogs)
restaurant Palate
huge, crystal-clean, superbly lemony, blade-y, mineral, coastal, and just perfect. Exactly what we were looking for, even if the pepper in the back is a tad excessive. After all, this is not Talisker. With water: drier, more austere, grassier, but some grapefruits are fighting back. The smoke gets bigger too
timer Finish
long, pretty peppery, perhaps a notch too bitter or I would have gone to 92. Well that was a possibility
