70
- Nose
- Seems young. Slightly stony, shifting to nuttiness and a touch of kiln-like smoke. Plain and pretty hard.
- Palate
- As the nose suggests, penetrating alcohol and a lean flinty quality. Water is needed to bring out balancing sweetness. Direct and ultimately pretty hard.
- Finish
- Fades quickly.
- Comment
- Tight and hard to love.
80
- Nose
- Chopped, mixed nuts and a buttery pastry. Amaretto biscuits, honeydew melon and Granny Smith apples. Lemon meringue pie.
- Palate
- A sweet syrupy texture with vanilla, melons and lemon rind. Victoria Sponge.
- Finish
- Minerally and lightly earthy.
- Comment
- A bright, sparkling nose and slightly less exciting on the palate but still good.
