More about potential. For me this is too young and needs time to come together.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Edgy and young. Minty (toothpaste) flaming orange oils. A little stony.

Palate: Clean and floral with a soft apricot like richness in the centre. Good length. More to it than the nose suggests.

Finish: Quick, biscuity oak.

Comment: More about potential. For me this is too young and needs time to come together.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Summery, light and fragrant. Grassy. Freshly cut lawn, green oak. Lemon grass. Herbal tea. Lemon sherbet. Reminds me of a chartreuse.

Palate: Unctuous, sweet. A slight watery gap at midpalate. The palate is true to the nose. The same herbal notes are delivered. Wild chervil, dill.

Finish: Sweet, minty with a spicy dryness.

Comment: A charming summery dram. The perfect 'herbal tea'

Score: 8.3
