Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine. It’s getting paler and paler year after year

air Nose

rather pungent and peaty at first nosing, briny and almondy, with also a little butter and hints of pineapple sweets. Also hints of dill and carrot tops, roots, gentian and earth. Calms down after a few seconds although it becomes smokier (exhaust fumes). Globally dry and with little fruitiness apart from the faint estery notes at first nosing (pineapples). I like this nose!

restaurant Palate

sweet and earthy start, extremely close to what the nose delivered. It’s not immensely smoky, rather ashy for a while… Until the peat gradually takes over, that is. A saltiness and more and more smokiness, liquorice wood, maybe hints of cumin, ginger… And gin? Only touches of lemon. I think the Ten becomes more and more dry and less and less fruity but I must say I enjoy this kind of profile quite a lot, so I won’t complain

timer Finish

long and saltier. Anchovies?
