Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Chardonnay
air Nose
Heather beer, mead, some moss, caraway, gravel, sandalwood; pretty typical HP in other words. Maybe a little simplistic at first though. Some vague green fruitiness and some lemon peel. Water is called for... with water: ahh, that worked! A lovely mix of dried herbs, salted dark chocolate and various nuts. Some cereal notes such as muesli develop as does a slightly salty, seaweed edge
restaurant Palate
Some soft, slightly earthy peat along with green peppercorns in brine, some salted caramel, herbal tea, a touch of tropical fruit and a lean minerality. Again it’s simplistic but quite perfectly composed. With water: lots of herbal bitter notes, not unlike Fernet Branca, natural tar liqueur and pine sap. Some greengages, fresh sourdough bread and a little star anise
timer Finish
Decent length, still on various herbal qualities, a little saline freshness and final lick of barley sweetness
