Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine (all natural, hurray!)
air Nose
indeed it’s smoky, and extremely mineral and herbal. As flinty as a wine by Didier Dagueneau, as inky as the Sunday Times, and as grassy as a freshly mown Murrayfield under the rain. The smoke is rather of the medicinal kind, so rather Laphroaiggy, I’d say. The palate should as sharp as a blade…
restaurant Palate
a little sweeter than expected, so rather towards demi-sec chenin (like), but indeed very peaty, almost acrid. Burnt herbs, a drop of heather honey, some green pepper, something oily (grape pips oil?) - and, guess what, much less citrus than in other relatively big peaters from that time. Very little fruitiness actually. Good solid body
timer Finish
long, acrid, ashy and grassy. This feeling of ink and pepper again in the aftertaste
