Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
Silvano used to enjoy eaux-de-vie, so no wonder he selected this fairly immature, yet pristine very young Clynelish. We’re almost on Savile Row with all these whiffs of fabric, tweed, new suits… and in the Vosges or Schwarzwald mountains, with these plum spirits, kirsch, Williams pears, tiny sloes and other berries some crazy people keep distilling when the state’s not watching… And rather bold notes of fresh almonds that are leading to waxes. Some mud as well, as almost always. Love the smell of ‘clean’ mud. With water: some saccharin coming out, that’s a little odd. Plastic pouches
restaurant Palate
pungent, raw, and in truth we’re almost on Islay. Now it’s a little too strong, it’s hard to enjoy it just like that. With water: very good indeed, but perhaps not mature enough. It’s true that it’s got a death seat after the sublime Hidden one
timer Finish
medium, rather fruity. Some sugar again, plus a medicinal touch
