Nose
superbly salty and sharp but with a beautiful layer of passion fruits and tangerines draped over everything. Fresh shellfish, an abundance of medical embrocations, bandages, antiseptic, gauze and then hints of olive oil, gorse, fresh herbs and sandalwood.

Finish
wonderfully long, lemony, mineral, chiselled, medical and with a pure and really vivid coastal freshness.
