Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this young beast has a little more roundness than the one from Downunda, perhaps thanks to some marginally more active oak, but all the rest is sharp as a blade (or as a Flying V). It’s actually very medicinal, with a lot of iodine and just sea air, as well as a little gherkin brine and fennel. With water: as perfect as The Great Gig in the Sky! What a fantastic young cask this was…
restaurant Palate
holy Richie Blackmore, this is perfect indeed! Perfect smoky brine and grapefruit juice, with just a little honey around them. Absolutely flawless, pure, and yet fully satisfying. With water: feels like a twelve, really. It’s perfect. More pepper now
timer Finish
very long, with many coda-lies. I mean caudalies, you know, that thing that measures the length of a finish, one caudalie being one second… Oh forget, another silly joke of mine that will have fallen flat. Coda, music, get it? There’s some coffee in the aftertaste, which may suggest STR wood. No problems, that works
