Description
Valinch & Mallet is a fairly young independent bottler headquartered in London but run by two Italians Davide Romano (who was formerly employed in a bank) and Fabio Ermoli (a wine importer).
Nose: rather soft and malty, with thin and grassy peat. Mezcal notes. Wet wool, autumn leaves, a little iodine and plenty of sweet herbs like aniseed and parsley. Hints of oranges underneath. All fine.
Mouth: smoked lemons, dry ashes and white pepper. Hints of smoked fish and vanilla. Sweetness underneath, yellow plums and apples. Growing salty notes and wet chalk.
Finish: medium long, earthy but still quite round, with malty notes and ashes.
