Taster

Nose: Very aromatic. Spicy. Vanilla-like.

Palate: Cookie-like. Dusty. Sherbety. Orange oil. Very lively indeed.

Finish: Woody, drying.

Comment: Again, very fruity, but lacking in other flavours.

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Peaty: smoked meat, a just-dead bonfire, dry leaf with light oil/resin. Fragrant. With water a hint of sulphur, bay, and a nutty maltiness.

Palate: Bone dry, smoky: burning timbers. Light butteriness/sweet macadamia nuttiness.

Finish: Bone dry, smoky.

Comment: Well-made and gentle, but straight down the middle rather than mouth-filling.

Score: 7.5
