- Nose
- Firm and malty yet with a scented exotic fragrance: orchid/flight frangipan. Wood.
- Palate
- Soft and seemingly simple start then things pick up. A juicy mouthwatering quality reminiscent of mango. Balanced. Some chocolate.
- Finish
- Fruit juice.
- Comment
- Well put together, the finish not too obtrusive.
82
- Nose
- A vibrant initial nose with forest fruits, strawberries and orange frozen yoghurt. Vanilla and nuts, like nut sprinkles on ice cream.
- Palate
- Rich and creamy with caramel sweetness on the tongue with lots of dried fruit (papaya, raisins, apricots, pineapple). Strawberry jam.
- Finish
- More jammy sweetness.
- Comment
- I've nothing against finishes, especially when they work as well as this one!
