Just poured a dram and it's proper fun – feels like a white wine with a young Burgundy Chardonnay vibe, bright beyond grapefruit. There's a cheeky hint of horseradish and a whisper of beeswax that makes it oddly charming. The palate runs fairly long, chalky limestone notes giving way to green walnuts and cider apples, a touch of lemon paraffin that’s oddly soothing. Reminds me of fiddling with an old Atari or Commodore on a rainy afternoon – unstoppable and just so good. Even for an amateur label, it's clearly a sign of very high quality. 😋

Took a quick swig and I’m still buzzing. Imagine you’re in a cosy pub, the lights low, and a wave of green apple and a hint of cider apple just kisses your tongue—plainly charming. Then a dash of chalk, like walking through a fresh laid‑on limestone path, lifts the whole thing. There’s a whisper of beeswax, surprisingly sweet, and a smidgen of lemon paraffin that feels like a wink from a friendly barista. It’s a young wine‑like moment, almost a Burgundy Chardonnay in spirit, but with a hard‑edge of green walnuts that gives it bite. The finish is fairly long and you’re left dreaming of a subtle, unstoppable drive, just a touch of fun and a touch of the old Commodore vibes. I’m telling you, it feels like a sign of very high quality, no ordinary pour. 🍹

Had a dram tonight that reminded me of green walnuts and a splash of green apple, with a chalky backbone that feels like limestone underfoot. There's a hint of beeswax and lemon paraffin, almost like a young Burgundy Chardonnay vibe, and it goes on fairly long, unstoppable. Fun, charming, and a bit dreamy – like an old Atari game you can't put down. 😄

Oh, this one’s just unbelievable—like stumbling into a secret garden at dusk. That first sip hits you with this creamy, almost waxy warmth, like beeswax and a bit of lemon paraffin, but not overpowering, just there—subtle but unforgettable. Then the limestone kicks in, smooth as a riverbed, and suddenly you’re dreaming of white wine and green apples, but not the sharp kind, the juicy, sun-warmed kind from a cider orchard. The liquorice? Oh, it’s not sweet—it’s more like a whisper of dark chocolate, just enough to make you lean in. And that mustard? Not the hot kind, just a gentle nudge, like a well-aged cheese. It’s all so consistent—no weird jumps, no "oh, what’s that?" moments. Just pure, unshakable fun. I swear, some bottles are like the Commodore 64—clunky, inconsistent, hit or miss. This? This is the perfect little machine. You take a sip, and it’s like the whole room tilts just a little, but in the best way. The chalk’s there too, but not like chalk—more like the glow of old books, or the way sunlight hits limestone walls. It’s charming, really. You finish it, and you’re left thinking, "How did I not know about this before?" And the length—fairly long, but not heavy. It just keeps going, like a good story you don’t want to end. The green walnuts? A little surprise, like finding a hidden trail in the woods. Beyond grapefruit, but not bitter—just fresh, like a morning after a good night’s sleep. Honestly? So good. You’d think consistency like this would be rare, but here it is, just sitting there, waiting for you to pour it. And when you do? It’s like the universe just gave you a little nudge.

Bloody hell, this is just… proper good 😍 That first sip hits like a wave—sharp lemon paraffin at first, then this mad dance of green walnuts and beeswax, all wrapped in liquorice and horseradish heat. Feels like biting into a crisp young Burgundy Chardonnay, but with this unstoppable kick that just won’t quit. Then the cider apples and pickled samphires kick in—so fresh, like a proper autumn walk through an orchard. Chalky undertones give it this lovely backbone, and the green apples linger like a cheeky afterthought. Consistency like this? Rare as hen’s teeth. Simply perfect, really. Just fun to sip and dream away with.
