Overall
Score
7.5
Nose
Sweet and malty. Green melon, frying turmeric powder and little lime zest and a floral touch. Delicate and slightly chalky.
Palate
This needs water which has a softening effect, bringing out lemon, banana milk shake and hazelnut. Very light and delicate.
Finish
White pepper.
Comment
Saved by the water and though too insubtantial to get a high mark would make a good aperitif.
