Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
it’s true there isn’t much 1997 about, and here we’re faced with a civilised, gentle version of BN, on milk chocolate and even white chocolate, before veering more towards fino sherry, small oysters and petrolic riesling. It’s really very lovely, leaning ever further towards the east coast, which we certainly won’t complain about. With water: a pine needle bed, moss, pinecones…
restaurant Palate
this time it’s full of bitters – aubergine, leeks, artichoke, bitter orange, rocket, Fernet Branca, Noilly Prat… The problem is, we adore all that. Not a tenth of a gram of sweetness. With water: the wax arrives, along with candied lemon
timer Finish
long and bitter, very fine. Salty aftertaste, as expected
