A pleasant drink with an interesting freshness. Leaves a burning sensation with a spirity feel back in the throat though. No reason to get excited.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Shy at the beginning. Then opening on sweet notes: vanilla fudge. An insistent oaky note. Slightly grainy.

Palate: Smooth, hesitating between cereal and fruit. Pear. A citrus touch. Porridge.

Finish: Fades quickly. Lack of firmness. Dry oak.

Comment: A pleasant drink with an interesting freshness. Leaves a burning sensation with a spirity feel back in the throat though. No reason to get excited.

Score: 7.3

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fresh and floral. Green fruits: peach, greengage, grass. Lifted and buttery. Pear and spring flowers. Malted milk. More oak with water.

Palate: Sweet, clean and fragile floral notes with balanced nutty structure. White chocolate, spice.

Finish: Hazelnut. Smooth.

Comment: Another which shows that delicacy is as much of an asset as weight and power.

Score: 8
