Taster

Nose: Light, then a suggestion of lawnmower box, wet grass and fresh green herbs. A sugary sweetness alongside a charred, phenolic note whick develops.

Palate: Seems light, but has a good weight mid-palate with those burn, smoky notes balanced by raspberry and lemon.

Finish: Dies a little quickly.

Comment: Attractive, but just a touch insubstantial, lacking the texture and flavour range to make it great.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Palate: Starts quietly, with gradual flavour development. Dry. Cereal grain. Grassy. Burnt grass.

Finish: Slightly astringent.

Comment: Good for its age, but I preferred it two or three years ago.

Score: 7.5
