Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

another step towards smoothness and roundness, with rather less medicinal notes this time but more notes of diesel oil and soot. Other than that it’s very coastal (say oysters) and only mildly medicinal. With water: water doesn’t work as a loudspeaker here, it just puts the notes of sea breeze and seaweed more to the front. Rather elegant

restaurant Palate

superb! Perfectly smoky, candied, fruity and coastal. Extremely well balanced. With water: a feeling of plenitude. Perfect balance, fabulous ‘nervous smoothness’ (for lack of a better term)

timer Finish

alas, but it takes its time
