A most soothing label amidst the current avalanche of AI-generated oddities. Thank you, Caora. Colour: straw. Nose: classic Jura on display here, with natural oils—sunflower, sesame, peanuts—alongside hints of engine oil, modelling clay and the gentlest of sea breezes. With water: the bare minimum of vanilla, the rest remains unchanged and we're not complaining. Mouth (neat): very good indeed, properly coastal with a saline profile, notes of green banana and a flicker of yellow curry. With water: similar, with a fairly discernible touch of peat showing through. A gentle, rather stylish mustardy edge emerges in the background. Finish: medium length, fresh and coastal, with faint soot and ashes. Comments: excellent Jura—and hats off again for the restful label.
