Taster

Nose: Light, slightly volatile estery and youthful. Dilute lemon and ginger cordial. With water there's dried banana chips and some fragrant floral aromas.

Palate: Clean lifted and perfumed. Elderflower. Quite lacy and fragile.

Finish: Vanilla and then the ginger returns.

Comment: A lovely very summery aperitif.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Light and delicate. Floral. Sweet peas, wild rose. Opens on slightly sour fruit. The sour edge is swept out by vanilla and custard.

Palate: Drier than expected. Very lively and refreshing. Cooked apples and pears. Almond and apricot pudding. Quite fizzy. Water soothes the feel down.

Finish: Steady, dry, quite lingering.

Comment: Kicking up your heels as well as soothing. To be sipped far from the city buzz.

Score: 8.5
