Nose: Fresh apple juice (Cox) with light oakiness and pulpy fruits. The wood\rmoves into sweet biscuit,medlar.

Palate: Slightly sour to start,then flattens rather than lifts. There's mint and thick\rsweet fruits. A little cloying.

Finish: Sweet.

Comment: Not at its best.

Score: 6.9

Taster

Nose: Fruity. A full basket. Ripe banana,juicy pear (pear drop at first nose).A touch\rof Demerara sugar. Plum purée.

Palate: A lovely enveloping velvety texture. Exotic fruit. Banana again, pine apple.Keeps on the fruity trail. Then an elegant spicy festoon frames that Arcimboldo painting.

Finish: Lusciously sweet and fruity. Soft spices in the back.

Comment: A delicious dram. Could easily replace a dessert.

Score: 8.5
