Taster
Nose: Another subtle entrant. Scented with light pine and wild berries. A juniper like note, this time mixed with spelt flour and lemon.
Palate: Very clean and clear with white berry fruits and a little hint of spice. Excellent refreshing acidity moving into pear juice. With water it remains cool, restrained but with excellent balance.
Finish: Cool and clean.
Comment: This shows how well Mackmyra has developed. No need to hope, the point has been proved.
Score: 8.1
