72
- Nose
- Vibrant. Citrussy. Lemon curd. A touch of exotic fruit. Passion fruit maybe. Verbena; light and fragrant.
- Palate
- Oak shows more than expected. A slight cardboardy note. With a phenolic hint.
- Finish
- Tangy, peppery.
- Comment
- The palate does not have the refreshing appeal of the nose. Water tames it but not enough to make it really palatable.
70
- Nose
- Edgy with a light metallic note: aluminium, green grass, geranium, whiff of sulphur.
- Palate
- Surprisingly sweet start with a firm grip and a very dry mid palate that carries a light phenolic note from the cask.
- Finish
- Short and slightly hard.
- Comment
- More in line with the first two. The most ‘grainy' on show.
