Taster

Nose: Pale and fine with green florals, white flowers, touch of maturity. A little like a janitor’s cupboard, bit stony.

Palate: Sweet and slightly green, delicate yet forceful. With water is better than the nose, light florals at work here, lemon.

Finish: Starts to grip again.

Comment: At its best in a couple of years.

Score: 6.9

Taster

Nose: Grassy, refreshing. Drying hay. Fennel.A lovely sweet milky note of crushed fresh hazelnuts. Lemon posset.

Palate: Smooth at first then dancing on the tongue with a tender bite. Sherbety. Well balanced. The same grassy refreshing notes as the nose.

Finish: Short, fresh and quickly fading.

Comment: Noses and tastes young. But a cheery “drinkeasy”dram. Water cuts the edges and gives it a little more depth.

Score: 7.6
