Henrik Johansson
Date of tasting: 4/7 2008
Apperance: New Gold
Nose: Straight nose is very sharp, winey and fragrant. It also has lots of green apples together with a rather peculiar mossy and kippery smell, almost like anchovies with soy sauce and stale water. Reduced nose has more of the fresh green apples, a very light and fragrant smokiness, more like incence than anything else, vanilla, grassy green house hints (tomato plants perhaps) and a slight woodiness.
Body: Light to medium, long tears.
Palate: Straight it's intense and full of flavour. It's quite a refreshing dram with unique notes. The start is a little winey and soft, the middle is intense with some flowers and maltiness. The finish is very long and a little spicy with lots of other delicate hints, burnt ! shellfish came to mind. After a minute or two the green apples reappeared on the palate. The reduced dram lost the start and finish completely, drink neat.

A rather sweet nose with honey, mslt and ripe fruits hints.
The mouth prolongs nicely the nose, even if it is a bit more complex and expressive than the nose was. Near the honey and the fruits, some slightly acid notes are present as well as a touch of nuts at the end.
The finish is relatively short and the smooth notes of mouth and nose remain discretely.
