Taster
Nose: Fat and hot. Mealy, bread and buter pudding and a little touch of plumped up sultana.
Palate: Sweet and fragrant. Very floral lifting off into lilac, then pear and a pleasing buzz of spices in the centre. Water allows its purity of flavour to develop. Light and delicate.
Finish: Prickly.
Comment: With water is fine boned and delicate.
Score: 7.6
