Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Marzipan and jam tarts. There is a nuttiness to this, cake mixture and a hint of cream.

Palate: Much bigger than the nose, plenty of dried fruits, marmalade, apple pie with\rcinnamon and custard.

Finish: Gentle drying oak and a little spice.

Comment: All in balance here, a great aperitif.

Score: 8.1
