- Nose
- Shy at the beginning. Then opening on sweet notes: vanilla fudge. An insistent oaky note. Slightly grainy.
- Palate
- Smooth, hesitating between cereal and fruit. Pear. A citrus touch. Porridge.
- Finish
- Fades quickly. Lack of firmness. Dry oak.
- Comment
- A pleasant drink with an interesting freshness. Leaves a burning sensation with a spirity feel back in the throat though. No reason to get excited.

- Nose
- Fresh and floral. Green fruits: peach, greengage, grass. Lifted and buttery. Pear and spring flowers. Malted milk. More oak with water.
- Palate
- Sweet, clean and fragile floral notes with balanced nutty structure. White chocolate, spice.
- Finish
- Hazelnut. Smooth.
- Comment
- Another which shows that delicacy is as much of an asset as weight and power.
