Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
another one that's pretty sharp and austere at first, chalky, waxy, grassy, the main difference being that many more fruits would then come out, chiefly white and yellow peaches, then muesli and something like rhubarb jam. I would suppose it's the virgin oak that imparted more 'sweetness'. With water: porridge, damp oatcakes and plain sourdough. Raw wool. Gone are the fruits
restaurant Palate
once again, same style as that of the Ultimate, only with more fruitiness, in this very case more lemons. With water: very good now, tight for sure but with a lot of lemon, gooseberries, green plums and rhubarb, plus a little muscovado sugar to round this off. Still, wonderful tightness
timer Finish
long, grassier, with notes of green tea and walnut skins. Loses a part of its fruitiness. Chalky aftertaste
