Community Tasting Notes 4

  • fizz wrote:

    September 14, 2019 - Sweet spices, florals, honey. Palate has just a touch of sweetness and low acidity. Rose and honey on the palate. It's gentle in it's nature and combines well with mildly flavoured Asian cuisine.

    September 22, 2016 - Florals, talc, sweet spices. The palate gives a sense of ripe, fleshy lychee. There's sweetness there for sure - but then, with food, it seems to disappear. The accompanying food was savoury, and only mildly spicy. The following day it appeared to gain weight and sweetness. It showed more ginger and honeyed notes. I'd like to revisit this in a few years.

    September 14, 2016 - SLDS September 2016: Orange, rose, herb and white florals. A touch of sweetness on the palate. Medium length, the palate not quite living up to the interest of the nose.

    April 3, 2007 - Golden-yellow in colour with medium body. Intense, perfumed nose of musk, spice, minerals and softer floral notes. Off-dry palate with ripe tropical fruit, low acidity and a long, smooth finish.
