Tasting Notes

Colour

pale gold

air Nose

starts neatly spirity, quite crisp, and then develops on many sorts of fruits such as grapefruit, watermelon, cider apples or not too ripe kiwis. Nice sharpness. The trademark waxiness is well here, as well as a sharp minerality (flints). Let’s try it with a little water: that works, even more minerality, freshness, crispiness… Another ‘riesling’ Clynelish, no need to say it’s obligatorily a hit here in Alsace

restaurant Palate

sweet, very fruity, immensely waxy and very nervous on the tongue. A perfect bitterness and quite some pepper. Lemon skin, mastic and propolis with some paprika and walnut skin. With water now: the waxiness gets more ‘resonant’, with also huge notes of walnuts arising, almond milk… The finish is long and extremely waxy now, with something of an ultra-dry sherry or vin jaune. Excellent expression despite its austerity and sharpness. 88 points . Clynelish 12 yo 1993 (60%, Cadenhead)
