A delicate nose but gets quite aggressive on the palate. Leaves a burning feel, even with water.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Citrussy. Syllabub. Lemonade. Candyfloss. Aeration brings out waves of vanilla. Bourbon cream biscuits. With water, pear drops.

Palate: Velvety, almost syrupy. Grassy, Some greenness in the taste. Tickles the tongue like a fizzy drink. Mint chocolates.

Finish: Not very long. Vanishes on dry oaky notes.

Comment: A delicate nose but gets quite aggressive on the palate. Leaves a burning feel, even with water.

Score: 7.3

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Cherry Garcia. Vanilla. Marshmallow. Cherry Coke? Candy floss. Crunchy, sweet apples.

Palate: Phat. Creamy toffee. Fairly flat. Richer with water, more rounded.

Finish: Oily with some very late acidity.

Comment: Sadly, somewhat pedestrian flavours let down the promising nose.

Score: 7.5
