75- Nose
- Toasted almonds, raspberries, limes, lemongrass.
- Palate
- Light, but firm. Sweet, like biting into a raspberry-jam tart. Then blackberries and passion-fruit (Bowmore?).
- Finish
- Seems slightly sharp and stinging at first, then a gradually unfolding potpourri dryness.
- Comment
- Some very enjoyable flavours, but lacking in dimension for me. I'll try it again at bedtime.

50- Nose
- The ethereal bouquet is delicately fruity at the opening. With aeration, there are hints of rubber (pencil eraser) and cotton fabric. Deflates in the glass after one minute.
- Palate
- Sweet at palate entry, sweet at mid-palate. So wan in flavour and paper-thin in texture that I consider screaming, "Give me some meat". Manufactured. Light-bodied. Doesn't quite do it justice in terms of texture.
- Finish
- Candy sweet. Watery. Brief.
- Comment
- Okay, okay, so you can mix with it. Do I hear any other useful applications?...I'm waiting...Is this that famous sound of one hand clapping?
