A sweet character on the nose. The alcohol bite is still vivid on the palate. Water tends to enhance bitterness.

Palate: Sweet at first then follows a spicy outburst. More vanilla. A minty touch.

Finish: Sherbety and dry.

Comment: A sweet character on the nose. The alcohol bite is still vivid on the palate. Water tends to enhance bitterness.

Score: 7.8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Big, chewy and very sweet with baked/caramelised fruits and masses of banana, coconut and a hint of geranium. A fat, sweet popcorn quality. Robust.

Palate: Equally big and perfumed with good depth. An interesting slightly burnt quality that also hints at fresh varnish. Then comes toffee, light coffee and with water, fennel.

Finish: Rich and sweet.

Comment: A belter of a grain with typical Port Dundas funkiness.

Score: 8.6
