Taster

Nose: Perfumy. Hint of burnt orange.

Palate: Surprisingly rich, vanilla toffee flavours, drying to flowery, herbal (camomile?) notes.

Finish: Slightly short, drying. New wood.

Comment: An interesting interplay of flavours. Comes to rather an abrupt halt.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Initially not much, then sweet, perfumed, floral, malt; lemon, sesame oil. Water brings out vanillins, sweet oak, tobacco. Complex yet discreet.

Palate: Long, ripe with sweet fruitiness. Flows beautifully, mouth-coating nut oil, a hint of resinous oak, honey, nuts, spice. Charming and mouth-filling.

Finish: Dry but not woody.

Comment: Great balance between sweet fruit, nutty flavours and oak. Very good.

Score: 8.3
