Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

a lovely idea to draw from casks quite different to the usual official house style, here we’ve got a profile that’s very fresh, vertical, maritime, on sourdough bread, seaweed, grist, ground almonds, and cooked whelks… How delightful. With water: ink appears, along with a pile of books and magazines, then baker’s yeast. Someone really ought to establish an aroma conservatory, because at the rate things are going, soon everything will smell like plastic, cocaine and gunpowder (come on!)

restaurant Palate

firm, powerful, candied, citric, salty, peaty, compact. Will that do? With water: as excellent as it gets, salty, fresh, maritime, like a plate of smoked cockles drizzled with lemon juice

timer Finish

fairly long, still fresh and saline. A truly coastal HP, splendidly austere into the bargain
