Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
really different and maybe a little butyric. Warm custard, crème au beurre, herbs, mud, seawater… I find this baby very intriguing I have to say. Damp earth… With water: oh, wet cardboard, raw wool, gravel, ink… Rain on Islay, I’d say. No big smoke
restaurant Palate
rather soft at first, but then there’s the expected peat blast. Wham! Lots of citrus as well, lemon, big pepper, a saltiness… A funny two-step arrival, and that would work every time you take another sip. With water: some lovely tropical fruits coming out. Pink grapefruits, perhaps. A little brine as well
timer Finish
good length, but it’s all relatively smooth after the funny arrival. The pink grapefruits are still there in the aftertaste
