Colour: dry white wine.

First nosing: rather fresh starting on some fruity notes like green apple, kiwi, pink grapefruit and also some sherry. Develops on cereals: grain, muesli… It goes on with some porridge, yoghurt, caramel. Whiffs of white pepper. Really fresh, fruity and lively, with some jolly nice yeasty notes. Oh, some nice and bold vanilla fudge developing after fifteen minutes or so.

Palate: the mouth feel is quite powerful, Some hot milk, brioche, yeast... Green vegetables, bitter beer (like Bombardier).

The finish green tomatoes and tealeaves
