Overall
Score
7.3
Nose
Clean and leafy (green leaves), light nutty/hay-like maltiness, pie crust, macaroon and a hint of phenols. Water reveals a note like firelighters/leaking primus stove.
Palate
Incredibly hot when taken neat. Water calms it and initially shows hazelnut and attractive sweetness. Then it collapses.
Finish
Light smoke.
Comment
Once again not sufficient complexity or balance to elevate it to greatness.
