- Nose
- Conference pears in butter and lemon. Lemon toffees. With water citrus remains, toffee diminishes, and meadow flowers bob in the sun.
- Palate
- Tangy, with a fun balance between citric and sweet. Floral too.
- Finish
- Floral and lightly drying.
- Comment
- Very pretty and summery. A good antidote if you feel you might be turning into a phenol-guzzling loony.
70
- Nose
- Caramel; milk chocolate. Some vanilla or fudge. Underlying spirity sharpness points to youth. Menthol.
- Palate
- Big and fat. Sweet. Buttery and creamy. Then tangy. Becomes more streamlined with water. Pears and custard?
- Finish
- Some late aniseed-like bitterness. Fennel?
- Comment
- More appealing in the mouth than the nose would suggest, and benefits from water.
