Taster

Nose: Tangy. A little spirity. Fudge. Caramelised apples. Vanilla and creamy notes tone the sharpness down. Polished floor.With water, rhubarb jam.

Palate: Much sweeter the nose let expect. An unpleasant cardboard and turpentine note. Not much behind.

Finish: Dry,spicy,quickly fading.

Comment: Disappointing.The nose has more than the palate.Less cardboardy with water but surprisingly fiery.

Score: 7.3
