Taster
Nose: Biscuity. Oatcakes, plain digestive biscuits. Then an “engine”note, reminding of diesel. It fades on time, covered by more pleasant vanilla aromas. Hint of soft peaches.
Palate: Very smooth and round.But the engine note is back.Fresh mint, ginger.
Finish: Dry, spicy, slightly biting.
Comment: Rather disappointing. First this off note then a dull aromatic profile.
Score: 7
