Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine – so very pale for first fill

air Nose

quite the opposite of the FR, this is much more dry, more austere, leafier, grassier… That’s a little surprising, I had expected bags of vanilla. All for the better in my book. There are these touches of glue again – I don’t hate that – and an earthy, rooty woodiness that I quite like. Paper, gooseberries, peelings, maybe a wee touch of bubblegum

restaurant Palate

sweet malt, sweet beer, sweet stewed fruits (rhubarb, apples), sweet almonds and ale, all that being coated with custard and maple syrup. And this works, I think

timer Finish

quite long, with touches of pepper and ginger from the oak. Rather peppered grapefruits in the aftertaste
