Taster
Nose: Lean yet gentle. Some cereal, flour, then comes polished oak. Water moves it towards orange and grapefruit zest.
Palate: Good flow with some spiciness, floral notes and a tingle of red peppercorn deepening into runny toffee and vanilla pod. Soft and substantial with creamy weight.
Finish: Gentle, if short.
Comment: I'm not fat, I'm just big boned.
Score: 7.8
