Overall
Score
7.4
Nose
A bit shy at first, takes a while to come through. Spicy on the nose and gentle fruitiness (peaches, melons, strawberries). Becomes buttery and toffee-like as it airs out. Notes of vanilla fudge and a coffee milkshake.\n
Palate
Butterkist toffee, butter, bread, something a bit herbal and some underlying ash make for a well-rounded palate.\n
Finish
Quite short at the end. Then oozes quite a fake sweetness – like aspartame.\n
Comment
It really sticks to the back of the palate in a cloying way. Not hugely complex, though the palate was, at first, quite interesting.
