Taster

Nose: Smoked cheese, citronella. Damp earth and wet rock. I was reminded of the inside of a megalithic tomb. Leather and crepe suzette. A light cheesiness again.

Palate: Burnt twigs, fruit bonbons and tangy orange marmalade.

Finish: Earthy and drying.

Comment: A mis-nomer?

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Bread dough, yeast with some maturity. Good balance with water which brings out spicy oakiness and a deep slightly nutty centre with raisin and dried flowers, then dry bracken.

Palate: Slightly stubborn to open. Solid but in time a zesty note and a contrast with coriander spices and a vanilla-led sweetness.

Finish: Sadly this falls apart on the finish.

Comment: It was all going so well...

Score: 7.5
