Taster

Nose: Intense. Jerusalem artichoke. Straw. Lemon balm. Candyfloss. Orange syrup.

Palate: Silky, easy flowing. Sweet but maybe too much. Leaves a note of cardboard and sugar which sits on the tongue.

Finish: Dry, tangy, teasing.

Comment: The nose is enticing, the palate disappointing. Funny enough, the heavy sweetness does not tame the alcohol bite.

Score: 7.3

Taster

Nose: Another huge complex nose with citrus and sweetness, almost runny honey.

Palate: A little less complex than the nose. Sweet honey and barley sugar notes dominate with a touch of bitterness.

Finish: Quite refreshing and clean.

Comment: The palate lets the nose down a little but the finish more than makes up for it.

Score: 8
