Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it starts with a bit of glue and fresh varnish, which is far from unpleasant in this context, then moves on to orchard fruits, starting with greengages and cherries (including their stems and pits). Then we find apricots, quite common in natural Glenrothes, as well as thyme and linden. A bit of coconut in the end, the hogshead was thus far from exhausted
restaurant Palate
starts with a lot of fresh marzipan, pistachios, bitter almonds, then moves on to grapefruit and orange peels, goes through a slightly metallic phase (silver spoon), then comes back to cherries and kirsch, with a rather pronounced stone-y aspect
timer Finish
medium length, with unexpected notes of very young gamay, almost like a Beaujolais nouveau, which I quite like and moreover, it's not really wine (but of course it is). In fact, it's quite close to varnish, cherry stems and fruit peels, and it works very well. One can have wine notes without adding wine, you see
