Taster
Nose: Overripe russet apple,polished oak, pear juice,preserved lemon,boiled sweet (orange Spangles).Lightly spiced. Good.
Palate: Soapiness,sadly,overwhelms what is a gentle softly fruity charmer.
Finish: Clying and soapy.
Comment: A real shame.
Score: 6.4
Taster
Nose: Unusual.Like the 'fraise tagada'
Palate: Sweet and bitter. Again that artificial flavouring taste.More orange drop this time.
Finish: A bit hard. Oaky. A cardboardy touch. Then caramelised nuts and spices.
Comment: Ends better than it starts. Water neutralises the fraise tagada but I still can'tget acquainted !
Score: 7
