A tart green grassy mouthful but slightly brash. A tad reminiscent of Taveners Sour Lemon Drops. Lingers on the tongue with what seemed a hard undertone (compared to, say, the softness of a gewurtz).
With dinner (fresh halibut baked in a parchment packet with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, shallots and wine alongside sautéed criminis and fingerling potatoes) it was much more palatable, had a refinement completely missing as an aperitif, less zing, and in a good way.
Overall, superb value if just an inch too forward.
