Taster
Nose: An interesting nose of dusty pollen, waxy Satsuma, orange blossom honey, pungent beeswax and black pepper. A little floral and soapy with time with developing grainy wood tannins and earth.
Palate: Pleasantly juicy - apricot and Satsuma followed by light honey, summer flowers and dusty barley. Tartly citrus on the middle with hints of earth.
Finish: Good juicy length, but neat the alcohol is rather intrusive. Water lengthens and brings out a touch of spice.
Comment: Pleasant enough.
Score: 7.8
Taster
Nose: Lime flavoured Star Bursts, honey on the comb waxiness. Old fashioned linctus, then more waxed peel and polish on old wood. Reminds me of a hint of pipe - wood and bone.
Palate: Angelica, greengages and crystalised grapefruit. A spiced toffee sauce with a little chilli heat.
Finish: Warming with a slightly bitter (in a good way) finish.
Comment: Sophisticated and beautifully balanced. Be careful adding water.
Score: 8.2
