Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

despite the fact that this one comes from the same vintage it’s much smokier and waxy/oily than the Shiny Cell. Huge notes of apple peel, beeswax, fresh walnuts and lime juice, with whiffs of iodine. Ultra-Clynelish, I’d say. With water: fantastic! Wild, organic, extremely waxy, earthy, rooty, mushroomy, almost animal… truly exceptional! A whole beehive plus litres of motor oil and fresh mint. Orange blossom water, mix of spices for couscous (sorry, I can’t tell you more). Wowowow!

restaurant Palate

rich, big, phenolic, waxy, sooty, lemony, grassy… And a little burning. Water needed! With water: holy crow! I think it’s time to issue a stunner alert

timer Finish

long and reminding me of the best Broras from the 1980s
