An enticing nose and lively palate. I prefer it neat than diluted as I think water cuts too many edges... Try it to your taste!

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Geranium, praline. Intensely fragrant. A touch of bee wax and orange blossom honey. Rich, elegant, slowly unwinding on citrus notes.

Palate: Crisp and fizzy. Very fresh and vibrant. The same citrusy/vanilla profile. Plus spices. Ginger and a pleasant oak astringency in the back.

Finish: Clean, precise with a fruity aftertaste.

Comment: An enticing nose and lively palate. I prefer it neat than diluted as I think water cuts too many edges... Try it to your taste!

Score: 8.5

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Spirity at first, floral notes of daffodils, tulips and oil seed rape flowers. Honey and caramel wafers. Apple blossom and a little citrus zing.

Palate: Refreshing and full of spice and oak. Great mouth grip with hints of vanilla custard.

Finish: Fruity and refreshing.

Comment: The nose does not really hint at the barnstorming palate.

Score: 8.8
