Taster

Nose: Light and nutty/malty with some green pear, straw, dry spices. Estery and crisp.

Palate: Equally light and nutty with a touch of milk chocolate in the mid-palate. Soft, easy and ultra-clean.

Finish: Crisp, short and dry.

Comment: Simple, attractive and easy-drinking.

Score: 6.8

Taster

Nose: Intense. Freshly sawn oak. Hint of resin. Malty notes hardly break through. Touch of fruit, syrupy peaches. Becomes soapy with water added.

Palate: Smooth and gentle. Maybe a bit too much. Could be more energetic with a higher alcohol content. Fruitier and nuttier than the nose.

Finish: Soft and pleasant almondy flavours with a touch of dryness.

Comment: Too mild to hold its own against the wood.

Score: 6.3
