Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
much sharper, greener, narrower, on seawater, rock pools and something ever so slightly chemical. Like some kind of gooseberry flavoured Haribo! Gets saltier with time, becoming more umami with things like squid ink and anchovy paste. With water: wood ashes, cement, crushed aspirin, seaweed crackers - a bit tight and closed surprisingly
restaurant Palate
rather narrow again, and quite pushy, with pure seawater, petrol and lemon juice on fresh oysters. Elements of this profile are more suggestive of the early 1990s than the early 1970s I would say. It's good but there's a rather immovable austerity about it. With water: softens but the sense of salinity, austerity, chalk, wet wool, beach rocks and sand never quite departs. Some subtle citrus and tiny exotic notes in the background, but the dominant element is this rather tough dryness
timer Finish
long, salty, full of bone-dry smokiness, soot and slight vegetal hints
