Tasting Notes

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Very intensely perfumed, like a florist's shop full of lilies and roses on a hot day. There is a sweet cream edge here too.

Palate: That perfume note is more musky, almost incense. Dark fruits and some espresso notes. A little oily as well.

Finish: Long and warming.

Comment: Great stuff, keeps your taste buds working hard.

Score: 8.7

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Oily, gentle and smooth, with rose petals and milk chocolate-coated Turkish Delight.

Palate: Greener than the nose suggests, but with a carry-over of milk chocolate.

Finish: Quite lengthy, slightly smoky with ginger compote.

Comment: The nose is pure confectionary, while the palate introduces a more masculine note.

Score: 8.7
