Overall
Score
9.5
Nose
Butterscotch leads the way, then fresh oak, lemon oil and white grapes. Then clean, grassy notes like grass meadows and fresh sheets, ripe corn kernels and a hefty whack of honeydew melon tropical fruit.
Palate
Pear pastries and gooseberry fool; greengage jam on freshly baked scones. The buttery mouthfeel beckons in vanilla, rosewater and melon.
Finish
Round, tropical fruit notes of melon linger, long and buttery.
Comment
This is an absolute stunner: buttery, delicious and nuanced. Near perfect.
