A cousin of the previous sample? Maybe creamier and softer though.\rBut there is still a gap between nose and palate.

Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fragrant. An apple orchard on a warm autumn day. A mix of flowery and fruity notes. Apple compote with vanilla. Gets creamier on time.

Palate: Smooth, velvety. A sweet honey and vanilla profile. More apples. Drying on\ran astringent note.

Finish: Dry with a spicy touch. Astringent.

Comment: A cousin of the previous sample? Maybe creamier and softer though.\rBut there is still a gap between nose and palate.

Score: 7.6

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Apple blossom and honey. Some softer fruits, pears, melon and a touch\rof peach. Bags of creams oak.

Palate: Soft and gentle. Sweeter with more tropical fruit. Almost orange juice with\ra little nutmeg spice.

Finish: Lingers with the spices building.

Comment: Not as well balanced as it could be. The elements need more time to mellow and develop together.

Score: 7.9
