Taster

Nose: Grassy. Candied angelica. Candy floss. Sweet cereals. Granny Smith apple. Pleasant perfumy bouquet.

Palate: Silky feel but tangy. Wasabi. Lemon drop. Fresh but assertive.

Finish: Dry,still tangy. Dry almond (with bitter touch of the skin).

Comment: A teasing nose and an assertive palate. A dash of water reconcile both.

Score: 7.2

Taster

Nose: Grassy with the spicy sweetness of Edinburgh Rock. Needs a little time for the discreet secondary aromas to develop. Sugared plum,melon, greengage with touches of comice pear and elderflower.

Palate: A slightly soapy quality then the fresh fruits win out: raspberry. Dilute,the intense artificial quality remains,like a cheap teenage perfume.

Finish: Green and slightly hard.

Comment: Don't water. Decent aperitif dram.

Score: 7.2
