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
