Tasting Notes

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Initial acetone, then almonds and peaches build.

Palate: Pleasing fruit flavours soon give way to drier, damp notes.

Finish: Lengthy, but quite bitter and drying.

Comment: Not all that well balanced.

Score: 7.4

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Nail polish and film cases, jelly sweets, a little popcorn and oak spice. Some fruit, sliced apple.

Palate: At first juicy fruit salad hits then is dried into spicier, tannin notes.

Finish: Dry with plenty of grip.

Comment: Not a bad drop, something to cheer up the winter nights.

Score: 8.1
