The nose is richer than the palate. Seems a bit uncoordinated,like a young untamed horse.

Taster
Nose: Floral at start. Changes constantly. Resin,warm pine cone. Wet leaves. Then a wave of cereal notes mingle with these outdoor scents. And then come some the fruit. Cider apples.
Palate: Light,sweet at start.Crisp. A spicy explosion like a breaker. Ginger and pepper. Unexpected.
Finish: Warm,dry. Soothing on fruit notes. Apple skin with a bitter touch.
Comment: The nose is richer than the palate. Seems a bit uncoordinated,like a young untamed horse.
Score: 7.5
Taster
Nose: Beautifully fresh and fruity,with grapefruit,grape and then vanilla and butterscotch.
Palate: Full,rich and mouth-coating,with peach,under-ripe banana and tinned fruits.Sweet and clean.
Finish: Rich medium long,with pleasant melon and yellow fruit notes.
Comment: A foodie dram? With dessert mainly, but good enough to savour alone.
Score: 8.3
