Comment: Quite a delicate sip, but with enough punch to give it some character.

Taster
Nose: Grassy and rather ephemeral. Pencil shavings and a touch of ripe kiwi. Rosehip oil. Pear drop. Crème caramel.
Palate: Very light bodied. Vanilla essence and custard cream biscuit. A little red apple and rice paper.
Finish: Short and sweet, with vanilla dominating.
Comment: Goes down easily, but quite one-dimensional.
Score: 7.2
