Tasting Notes
Nose
A mild nose-feel, clean and crisp. The light top notes are green and fruity, suggesting fresh-cut green apple, white grapes and a hint of pear, all combined in a juicy fruit salad and supported after a while by a golden, buttersmooth suggestion of crème anglaise on a puff-pastry base. There’s a note of spun honey in the development. A drop of water enhances the freshness and fruitiness.
Palate
At natural strength, smooth in feel, with light, velvet smooth layers of texture and a taste that is toffee-sweet to start, balanced by a splash of golden yellow fruit acidity and light spiciness. Overall, crisp and clear yet also richly rounded. A dash of water rounds and integrates these tastes, bringing out the delightful smooth balance.
Finish
Of medium length, finishing spicy, with a lovely smoothness. A dash of water soothes the spiceness.
