Review and Tasting

Sampled on 20/07/2023

Appearance:

Clear (but not bright), pale straw yellow golden.

Aroma:

Wonderfully aromatic with zesty citrus oils and underlying herbal complexity - particularly chamomile and gentian. Faint orange blossom, lavender and rose petal.

Taste:

Delicately spiced with zesty bergamot and lemon. Subtle rooty/bark bitterness balances light honeyed sweetness. Delicate floral notes.

Aftertaste:

Floral notes are more pronounced in the dry zesty finish with lingering lemon and lavender.

Overall:

Superbly balanced and complex with bright zestiness, herbal bitterness and honeyed sweet notes harmoniously complementing each other, garnished with a floral bouquet.
