Bottle, 11C. I suppose the advantage of drinking it at home is being _really_ sure I’m not swigging the finger bowl. Unclear pinkish light brown, no head. Aroma led by peppery and pithy lemon myrtle, but there’s damp laundry-like wheat and some cherries and their stones too. Light bodied, just slightly slippery. There was a faint pop when I opened the bottle, but it’s very close to flat. After nearly being too much in the aroma, the lemon myrtle’s toppy notes almost disappear on tasting. There’s a dried leafy edge to the slightly peppery wood at the end. Only a suggestion of cherry and very mildly funky and tart. As an aperitif for NOMA’s visit to ’straya, presumably presaged the culinary glamping to come pretty effectively. Pretty good.
