Taster

Nose: Soft and sweet. Coconut/lactone, melting chocolate but then an energetic burst of kumquat zest, powdered nutmeg, sultana, dried peach and more mature weight than the age would suggest.

Palate: Gentle. Raspberry and Galia melon, fruit salad and cinnamon. The oak is poised and balanced with notes of cappuccino. Fresher with water.

Finish: Fruity, soft, balanced.

Comment: Precocious. A fantastic 10yo and marked accordingly.

Score: 8.4
