Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Pancakes with lemon and white sugar, chopped red apples and creamy kefir, with chopped apricot, heather and allspice.

Palate: Creamy apricot yoghurt, amber and brandy-covered sultanas, mincemeat and heather honey, followed by cloves.

Finish: Quite delicate, with a brandy apple note and peppermint and liquorice tea.

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

Score: 7.6

Christopher Coates

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
