Taster
Nose: Very floral at first. Then quickly moving to rootier notes. Vétiver? Humus. Damp grass.
Palate: Sweet and round. Sweet plum. A bit weak at mid palate. But yet delicate. Spices gently rise and give a fizzy feel.
Finish: Pleasant with a dry clean ending.
Comment: A refreshing and delicate dram. Slightly fragile but it has its charm. Avoid water.
Score: 7.7
Taster
Nose: Initially a whiff of camphor then dunnage warehouses. Damp sweet wood notes.
Palate: Has a bubbly quality. That sweet tang has become dark fruit skins like plums or damsons.
Finish: Short and cleansing.
Comment: Well put together with some very refreshing qualities.
Score: 7.5
