Taster

Nose: A strange scent. Mix of stale fruit and washing detergent. And also wet grain and dust. Slowly dims into a cleaner fruity note. Pears dipped in custard.

Palate: Bitter from start. And that stale note comes through again.

Finish: Bitter, burning.

Comment: For masochists only. Finish in a sauternes cask? Might be a tired one then.

Score: 5.8

Taster

Nose: Takes some time to open. At first it is all cereal, dust and light fruit, but then this poached pear and cream starts to come through.

Palate: That cereal and fusty note comes through but a delicate sweetness lurks as well.

Finish: Sharp and short.

Comment: Not certain where the sauternes has gone. A dram that may take more time to open up.

Score: 6.5
