Tasting Notes
This rather delicate nose had us tumbling out of a sauna to enjoy a feast of langoustines and smoked lobster with rye bread, marie rose dipping sauce and lemon wedges. On the palate, that characteristic perfumed smoke seduced us with potpourri and rosewater, melon, pineapple and cloudy apple juice; the finish had charcoal and mint, hints of rancio and blowing smoke rings from herbal cigarettes. The reduced nose was a fresh, breezy coastal walk, amply rewarded with gravadlax and custard doughnuts. The palate now gave us heather, orange peel, cola and quince jelly, with cask char and pink peppercorns to finish.
