Taster

Nose: Very light and scented. Citrus, beeswax, coconut powder, coumarin/herbs/pot pourri. Barely seems anchored.

Palate: Fragrant, floral and delicate. Rather fragile and slightly thinner than 16.

Finish: Smoke.

Comment: A ghost-like dram almost too elusive to grasp.

Score: 7.8

Taster

Nose: Lots of ripe fruits: banana, kiwi, pink grapefruit and melon. Cutting through this are other notes of grappa, sappy wood, fennel and tomato stalks.

Palate: Sweet peach, a little peat and sweet vanilla.

Finish: Grapefruit and drying woodiness.

Comment: Another nose that produces involuntary smugness.

Score: 8.8
