Tasting Notes

Colour

pale white wine. Off to a good start

air Nose

marvellously simple. Almost laughably simple, on lemon, bruised apples, chalk, wool, ashes, seashells and iodine. With water: plasticine and motor oil come in broadly speaking, though lovely mandarins appear in the background

restaurant Palate

citrus bridging the gap with earlier decades, though in a slightly aggressive way, with a sensation of lime smoked over firwood and mixed with seawater. No surprises there. With water: doesn’t change much, remains a bit aggressive and rugged, definitely more rustic than the officials from the same era

timer Finish

a slightly fizzy side, the whole turning fairly bitter. Think Schweppes, only without the sugar. Alright then, not Schweppes
