Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (there are certainly darker vattings under this label, so the whole batches argument does bear some weight)
air Nose
South Africa's salinity + Australia's fruitiness, all given oomph by these extra degrees of alcohol = a totally incredible nose. This goes really into even more exotic and vividly fruity territory, pure, ripe, exotic fruit medleys. Fruit salad juices, seawater, pink grapefruit, waxes - utterly exquisite and mind blowing
restaurant Palate
it's the peat and salty, coastal qualities that dominate and take the lead from the arrival. Amazing precision, power and intense fusion of all these influences. The fruits are still there but they're sharper, more crystalised, drier and even showing a tiny hint of acidity. Indeed, the whole thing is astonishingly fresh, vibrant and immense
timer Finish
glorious, extremely long, everything all at once but with perfect cohesion and sense of purpose
