Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s rather spirity, raw and slightly feinty at first nosing, but all that is soon to vanish while a much fruitier and more vanilled profile arises. Also the initial peatiness vanished – or I got used to it quicker than usual; who knows! What’s sure is that it’s lightly peated. Quite some porridge, cut apples, pears… With water: it’s very active oak for sure, we have tons of coconut now. A little more peat as well…
restaurant Palate
it’s the sweetness that does all the talking, there’s almost no noticeable peat in the attack. Big, punchy, young and very fruity profile (apples and peaches), with only a slight bitterness that may come from the peat – or not. With water: it’s simple, but it became excellent with water. Typical modern notes, vanilla custard and oranges. The peat combines well with the active oak, adding a gingery profile
timer Finish
long, clean, sweet
