Overall
Score
7.7
Nose
Fat. Nail polish, strawberry, marzipan, vanilla, sweet biscuit, pencil shavings as well as dry tea leaves and weirdly, pork crackling.
Palate
Sweet and quite plump, if a little jammy, but dries nicely to the finish. Quite bready/malty. Water bring out sweet vanilla.
Finish
Lightly grassy.
Comment
There’s a lot here but it feels strangely compressed.
