Nose
Herbal. Fruity. Palate
Intensely sweet. Creamy-tasting. Ice-cream (or perhaps the Indian equivalent, kulfi). Finish
Lively. Zesty lemon peel. Candied angelica. Cilantro. Comment
Richer and more expressive than any version I have tasted previously. Extraordinary sweetness.
Dave Broom
Nose
Like an Italian delicatessen: dry and slightly dusty with hints of spice, coffee, bran, vanilla pod and nut. Palate
Sweeter than the nose suggests. Estery and floral with sweet grass. Finish
Short and a little dry. Comment
Simple, pleasant but a little one-dimensional.
