Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a different kind of beast, surely. Much more austere, mineral, closer to the barley and also much grassier. Just as many notes of grapefruits but much less vanilla. Well, just when you found a very dry one you find an even drier one! With water: becomes acetic and a little beery. That’s no good development I’m afraid… Leaven and baker’s yeast - and tons of it
restaurant Palate
big, powerful and earthier than its siblings. Less polished, more peppery, wilder and, to tell you the truth, more extreme than many Clynelishes I’ve known. Yes, personally. Is that only the youth? Becomes very, very spicy after a while (wasabi and not just a pinhead!) With water: recovers and becomes wonderfully lemony, although something too yeasty remains in the background
timer Finish
long, on ginger infused in lemon juice. You get the drift
