Taster

Nose: Figs.

Palate: Like eating a fresh fig. Seedy. Sweet. Crystalised fruits, sprayed with sugar. Fig Newtons. Biscuity. Floury. Dusty. Falls away.

Finish: Stingingly warming.

Comment: Promises more than it delivers. Try it with sweet Turkish coffee or espresso.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Fragrant. Icing sugar, freesia, lemon, wood shavings (becoming like balsa wood), light vanilla. Hint of plasticene behind. Becomes drier, but still with cut flower stems, jasmine.

Palate: Very sweet. Gooseberry, green apple, just ripe melon. An interesting mix of fragrant flowers, light spice and firm oakiness. Holds well in glass.

Finish: Slightly grippy.

Comment: Fragrant and fine. A Caperdonich? I'm amazed.

Score: 8
