Taster

Nose: Apples dipped in honey. Fresh turned soil, warm and sweet. Stacks of seasoning hard wood. Vanilla essence. A little Playdoh, printer’s ink.

Palate: The buttery sweetness of potted brown shrimp. Clove and white pepper spices. Then the sweetness comes in, fizzy sherbet and liquorice sticks.

Finish: That fizzy sherbet keeps on going mixed with the sweetness of Conference pears. Dries with a little liquorice.

Comment: Like working in the garden in late summer, stopping for a cold beer with the sun warming the soil. Restful and soulful.

Score: 9.1

Taster

Nose: Rich tones of sandalwood, sultanas and melted candle wax with ripe banana skin. Sugar-coated watermelon, kiwi flesh and dark chocolate Turkish Delight.

Palate: Beautifully floral with rose, aloe vera and fresh wood shavings creating warmth. Toasted chilli flakes, sweet peppers and a dash of Sriracha.

Finish: Pretty abrupt finish with the flavour dissipating quickly but with the hot waxy texture drying out the palate.

Comment: A massive bouquet of florals and waxy goodness.

Score: 8.4
