Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
much love for this. It's a slightly shier one, but it's showing elegance and distinction, with some fresh bark, sunflower oil, those softer waxes, candles, plaster and chalk, apples, then mirabelles and quinces… With water: a delicate earthiness and even a few ashes, perhaps coal. A little fresh coriander, and always these waxes. A nose to marry (why would you marry only a nose, S.?)
restaurant Palate
ueber-class Clynelish, everything being exactly right here. Citrus, apple peel, beeswax and honeycomb, acacia blossom, quince, not-too-ripe mirabelles, plus just a faint saltiness, nothing dominant. Shh, much respect… With water: more towards citrus, which is brilliant. I was about to mention kumquats but my Dutch friends seem to be firmly against that. So, say yuzu and bergamot
timer Finish
the chalk is back, with some lemon and a little cold earl grey tea. Wax in the aftertaste, as is customary
