Taster

Nose: Scented, attar of roses, pollen and lemongrass. Polished oak and almonds. Almost like an amaretto made in Kentucky. Water brings out cherries, wintergreen, sagebrush. High toned.

Palate: Soft and slightly jammy to start and not as noisy as the nose suggests. Sourdough and apple.

Finish: Sour.

Comment: A rollercoaster.

Score: 7.4

Taster

Nose: Exotic with wood spice, dried herbs and a slight nutty edge. Has that sweetshop note as well.

Palate: Gentle and not as brash as you would expect. The cooked corn note comes through.

Finish: A little bitter.

Comment: Definitely a grower.

Score: 7.6
