- Nose
- Sweet, delicate but intense. Touch of hyacinth. Caramelised apples, pine nuts. Chestnut purée. Coffee beans. A varnish hint. Becomes creamier and fudgier as it gets aerated.
- Palate
- Very smooth and round. Oily. Fudgy. Oak and spices slightly overtake the fruitiness.
- Finish
- Long. Drying on nutty notes. Black pepper.
- Comment
- A pleasant balance between oaky and creamy notes. The finish is surprisingly long for the alcoholic strength. The mid palate is a bit watery.
- Nose
- Very lean and slightly sappy. Hazelnut, cinnamon and almond paste. Lightly charred. A lot of oak.
- Palate
- Sweet and citric. Dry, sandy.
- Finish
- Light lemon.
- Comment
- The lightest of the lot. Almost fragile.
