Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Toffee,coffee ice cream,maple syrup.

Palate: Clean,sharp and bitter orange and citrus notes,but ordered and quite complex.Spice suggests age.

Finish: Curiously captivating,with a sweet and sour ping pong match and a hint of smoke.

Comment: Sweet enough to be attractive,sharp enough not to be cloying and spicy enough to prickle the tastebuds.\rA winner.

Score: 7.6
