Taster

Nose: Attractive, obviously young but not immature. Grassy with a touch of muesli, sweet almonds and juicy malt. Sauvignon Blanc/green rhubarb ferment notes.

Palate: Sweet and fresh all the way through: peaches, blossom and clover. Light nutty malt mid-palate with that winery/grapey note at the back.

Finish: Peaches in syrup (en regalia?) then dry cereal.

Comment: Hugely drinkable. Young but sweetly vibrant.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Gently fruity, perfumy, smoky.

Palate: Light on the tongue. Flowery. Oat-like flavours. Some maltiness. Vanilla sweetness.

Finish: Light. A touch of spiciness.

Comment: The vinho verde colour suggests a very light whiskey, and this certainly is, in both body and flavour. This bottling seems markedly thinner than the last vintage I tasted.

Score: 7
