Tasting notes
Pale, bright yellow. Reticent nose hints at crushed stone, lemon and nutmeg. Piquant flavors of lemon zest and crushed stone convey an impression of electric energy. Dense and fine-grained but with a weightless quality owing to its powerful stony minerality. The wonderfully tactile, slowly mounting finish displays strong salty extract. Still a baby and almost painfully taut today, but its pungency and echoing length suggest that it will be long-lived.

Relatively suppressed on the nose but there’s creamy depth on the palate then a really fresh, crisp finish. Long and embryonic with a citrus intensity giving a very long finish. (JH)
