Taster

Nose: Prickly. Paint varnish. Fruity with a floral hint. Pears poached in a rosehip syrup. The varnish note vanishes and gives way to juicy fruit. With water,ripe apricot and candied pineapple.

Palate: Oily, velvety. Opens on succulent fruit soaked in custard or almond milk. Tangy feel.

Finish: Dry,spicy.Almond skin

Comment: A fruit basket ! Needs water to keep alcohol quiet. Quiet a restless fellow. The nose delivers layers of fruit.

Score: 7.8
