Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this is where it gets rather unsettling, and why I picked this wee chap—we’re strikingly close to the 1998, same profile, same tension, same minerality at first, before it goes all fractal and veers off in several directions, notably towards stewed fruits (quince, medlar), unguents (camphor, eucalyptus, mint essence), and absolutely bonkers levels of aromatic herbs. Tarragon, chervil, watercress, oyster leaf, coriander, basil, lemongrass, and heaps of others. An utterly mind-blowing nose—so complex yet so pure
restaurant Palate
terrifyingly powerful, mineral, and textured—practically barley oil. There's a very medicinal streak again, all things chalky and broadly earthy, lemon zest, and those herbal essences and reductions all the top chefs are so fond of nowadays. Including goutweed, which I stumbled upon at the Burehiesel in Strasbourg just last Saturday. Warmly recommended, by the way!
timer Finish
long, with a perfect balance of medicinal notes, citrus, and chalkiness. Only the aftertaste is ever so slightly soapy, as sometimes happens with very old bottles
