Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
good, it’s another great Longmorn, minus the sherry but with an added waxiness and minerality instead. Superb sparkles of fresh oranges, gooseberries, even kiwis, rubbed lemon skin, then wet rocks, ginger, lemon balm, flint, lime… Great nose, really überfresh. With water: isn’t this straight peat that comes out? As often, we have also whiffs of ‘farmyard after an early summer rain’ (ha!) and then touches of dill, aniseed and various other herbs. Excellent
restaurant Palate
oh wow! Fantastic! Big fresh oranges and all liqueurs made thereof plus something superbly resinous and kind of oily and, once again, mineral. A very good ‘cool climate’ Riesling indeed, with loads of grapefruits and other ‘nervous’ fruits. With water: more of the same, with also clementines and notes of marzipan-filled dates. I’m not kidding
timer Finish
long, a tad more resinous and grassy. Lemon zests, mint-flavoured liquorice
