Taster

Nose: Bold. Starts with wholemeal bread, nutty, sweet cardboard, then develops into floral orange, pineapple, American cream soda while behind a smoky note reminiscent of burning human hair.

Palate: A little bald to start, but becomes oiled.Lots of lime, ginger, sweet fruits. Builds in power as it opens, allowing the burnt smoky note to grow.

Finish: Juicy and long.

Comment: A typically odd melange from Pulteney.

Score: 8
