Review and Tasting

Sampled on 20/10/2011

Appearance

Crystal clear.

Aroma

A very complex and integrated nose with juniper, thyme, cardamom and orange zest being the most obvious aromas.

Taste

Wonderfully clean and strongly flavoured palate with the balance between the juniper and the other botanicals well struck with juniper leading the charge with the other botanicals in tightly integrated formation behind.

Aftertaste

Juniper is more prevalent in the long woody-citrus finish.

Closure: Natural cork stopper
