Taster

Nose: Salt. Cucumber. Lettuce. Tobacco.

Palate: Sweet. Malt background. Angelica. Coconut.

Finish: Coconut. Sugar, but also salt.

Comment: Lively and refreshing, but the flavours have not combined and fleshed out as probably they will in another six or seven years.

Score: 8.3

Taster

Nose: Fat and mildly feinty.

Palate: Lemon drop sharpness, fan tailing out for a beguillingly malty middle.

Finish: Chewy and tantalisingly spicy.

Comment: Has an extraordinary finish, suggesting something twice the age.

Score: 7
