Taster

Nose: A sour scent of dry cider. Tangy, not pleasant. Unripe orange. A yeasty and sulphury note in the back.

Palate: Sweeter than the nose but still the citrussy sourness of unripe fruit. Touch of beeswax. Getting spicy.

Finish: Smoother than at start, biting in the back.

Comment: The nose puts you off, the palate tries to make it up but the result is not exciting.

Score: 7

Taster

Nose: Slightly edgy. Dry and slightly malty, a hint of dunnage warehouse then comes banana, crisp green eating apple.

Palate: Very lifted and effervescent. Light estery fruits to the fore. Lemon, lime and then Turkish yoghurt and honey cut with almond. Fragrant.

Finish: Spicy.

Comment: To me it is a classic balanced fresh sweet Laddie.

Score: 8.3
