Bizarrely, the nose reminded me of an Argentinian Torrontes. Where's the famed Benrinnes meatiness?

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Light and discreet with some grass, limeade and a macadamia nuttiness. In time there's lemon and a wine-like perfume.

Palate: Very sweet with lifted aromatics. Delicate but with a subtly rich middle palate. Soft fruits.

Finish: Sweet grassy.

Comment: Bizarrely, the nose reminded me of an Argentinian Torrontes. Where's the famed Benrinnes meatiness?

Score: 7.3

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Lots of cereal character: Shredded Wheat, hay, wet earth, and some sweet biscuits. Some fruit syrup and lemon peel.

Palate: Light and sweet, with no off-notes. Vanilla cream, peach and some cereal.

Finish: Hay.

Comment: Pleasant enough.
