Review and Tasting

Sampled on 04/07/2011

Appearance:

Clear, golden appearance.

Aroma:

Sauterne wine-like nose with honeysuckle floral notes, stoney mineral aromas and a touch of bergamot.

Taste:

Dry, manzanilla sherry-like palate is slightly salty with grape flesh, orange bitters and cardamom, cinnamon and clove spice.

Aftertaste:

Spicy elements linger and build over a flavour akin to oxidised fruity apple juice.
