Right then, here’s what I’m getting— Nosing this, it’s like sticking your head into an old hay loft, but not in a dusty way. There’s a lovely waxiness, almost lemony wax, like polishing a table with beeswax while someone zests a citron nearby. Runny honey drizzled over brown bread, and then these odd flashes of brake fluid or oily rags – sounds minging but it works, proper old-school. A bit of wildflower pollen, maybe a whisper of marjoram and parsley, very earthy. On the palate it’s rather fat texture, quite the opposite of thin. Robust cereal, barley sugar notes, then this green fruit syrups thing, like lychee and a touch of orange liqueur but not sweet. Gets properly spicy, mustard seed warmth and a camphor tingle, like a very pleasurable old riesling with a sooty, flinty edge. There’s even a little aspirin-like dryness and coal dust at the back. Finish is long, waxy and honeyed again, nectar mixed with earth and old paper. Dallas Don’t? More like Dallas Does. Nice! 👌
