Match made in heaven for seafood lovers, with the brininess of the shrimps impeccably complemented by the creamy richness of mayonnaise and aioli. The nose is a bright and zesty blend of citrus and green apple, setting the stage for a truly lively experience. On the palate, the salty and mineral undertones linger long after the finish, leaving a gratifying dryness that is simply damn good. A remarkable bargain for the price, with a racy acidity that cuts through the richness. 89p.
