Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh brine cut with lemon juice, granny smith apples, bone dry cider and many mineral notes such as beach pebbles, chalk, ink and carbon paper. Lime zest, seaweed paper and freshly chopped parsley. Extremely pure and fresh. In time it develops towards raw smoke and freshly malted barley. With water: dried lavender, chalk, heather ale, mouthwash, mixed olive tapenade and some hot smoky grist
restaurant Palate
big, fatty, mineral and smoky. Full of bath salts, pressed flowers, pot pourri, struck flints, newspaper ash, sandalwood and antiseptic. Some white pepper heat, Maggi seasoning (I adore Maggi, as Serge will attest) and menthol tobacco. With water: more autolytic with water, some slightly fermentary, sourdough notes, a more lemon-accented peatiness, raw cereals, smoke, ash, lemon juice and salt water. Really excellent with water!
timer Finish
long, lemony, ashy, pure, precise and glistening with peat, chopped herbs, olive oil and brine
