Nose
Leaner, grassier, lime, kiwi, crisp sauvignon blanc, passion fruit, pin-sharp cereal notes. Lemons and limes in green tea, bandages, mineral oils, stone fruits, fragrant wild flowers. With water: wonderfully sooty, oily, waxy, estery, lightly tropical and mineral.
Palate
Fabulously oily and textural delivery! Mint julep, olive oil, mineral salts, various exotic fruits (ripe and in syrup), verbena, citrus juices, herbal liqueurs, subtle waxy notes, flinty and chalky mineral aspects. With water: superb, rich and fat, mineral/waxy side recalls early 80s Clynelish. More floral, chalky, pollens, waxes, salted mead and camphor.
Finish
Long, fatty, oily, greasy, mechanical, waxy, oily hessian rags, various shades of wildflower. Bitter citrus piths in the aftertaste.
