Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine. Phew!
air Nose
granted, there is a little sawdust and vanilla, but also some better detailed Highland-Parky notes, limestone, coal smoke, garden peat, moss, broken branches, lemon rinds, autumn leaves… You see… With water: naked and natural. Sharp, grassy, mineral, and yet deep and profound. Very nice medicinal touches, Band-Aid, mercurochrome, half a drop of tincture of iodine…
restaurant Palate
perfect young HP, zesty, angular, very lemony, slightly peppery, and certainly very mineral, what I sometimes call ‘sauvignony’ (you’re afraid of nothing, S.) With water: the best part! Lovely lemon curd, quinine, chalk, a hint of salty wakame…
timer Finish
pretty long, pleasantly sharp, and certainly quite coastal. Some mineral oils in the aftertaste, salted lemon juice... (no Margarita though)
