air Nose

BAM! A beguiling mix of tropical fruits, seashore, medical complexities, soft peat and background farmyard qualities. Goes on with ointment, iodine, orange peel, TCP, smoked sea salt green and citrus fruits. Amazing in other words. With water: Medicine, crushed nettles, iodine, citrus rind and assorted tropical fruits. Obscene!

restaurant Palate

Spectacular arrival. Miraculous precision and a breathtakingly pure saltiness. Brine, seawater, black and green olives, mercurochrome, a little white stone fruit, grist and lapsang souchong. Dazzlingly powerful and precise. With water: the volume on the tropical side goes up now while the rest remains amazingly salty and structured. Pure beauty and power. A little fragrant wood smoke as well with time

timer Finish

Endless, ashy, mineral, medicinal and full of lingering tropical and citrus fruits
