Taster
Nose: Toasted. Cigar wrapper, hard toffee. Oily and juicy with some orange zest. Fairly boisterous.
Palate: Dry oak, blonde tobacco, cigarette ash. Cereal, slight mint. Not knitted. Doesn't cope with water.
Finish: Dry. Short.
Comment: Slightly angular. Not a lot seems to have happened.
Score: 7.3
Taster
Nose: Ripe melon, guava and a general perfumed fruitiness. Blackcurrant yoghurt. Warm lemon sponge cake, and perhaps a distant, background smoke.
Palate: Baked fruit, and a little waxiness, with a complex, aged woodiness.
Finish: Lightly medicinal.
Comment: Subtle and delicate, perhaps a little too much so.
Score: 7.8
