Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Grassy, perfumy. Floral. Sweet meadow flowers, orange blossom. Exquisite. Pomegranate juice. Light and luscious.

Palate: Dry, crisp. But clean. Not as sweet as the nose leads you to expect. Spices dance on the tongue. Drying out into dust.

Finish: Fizzy, spicy. With a sweeter aftertaste. Orange drop.

Comment: An enticing note and a more 'square'

Score: 7.7

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Sort of orange juice. Barley sweets. That sweet slightly bitter edge to it. Floral and honey notes as well. Gentle and complex.

Palate: Hits you with a whack of spices and grips the tongue. There is a crispness to it and slightly dusty.

Finish: Sweet with barley sugar.

Comment: Takes you one way and then hits you from the other. Great fun and complex.

Score: 7.9
