- Nose
- Intense. Freshly sawn oak. Hint of resin. Malty notes hardly break through. Touch of fruit, syrupy peaches. Becomes soapy with water added.
- Palate
- Smooth and gentle. Maybe a bit too much. Could be more energetic with a higher alcohol content. Fruitier and nuttier than the nose.
- Finish
- Soft and pleasant almondy flavours with a touch of dryness.
- Comment
- Too mild to hold its own against the wood.

- Nose
- Light and nutty/malty with some green pear, straw, dry spices. Estery and crisp.
- Palate
- Equally light and nutty with a touch of milk chocolate in the mid-palate. Soft, easy and ultra-clean.
- Finish
- Crisp, short and dry.
- Comment
- Simple, attractive and easy-drinking.
