Some of the comments

Nose: "oily with linseed and fresh salad notes at first, but with water green fruits and particularly apple emerge." "As I put my nose in I got something not unlike that smell that clothes have when they've been dried on the line, not the tumble dryer" "Camomile, Ambrosia rice pudding, pears, anise, peppery" Taste:"Green apple, almond, marzipan and sappy young barley, enhanced towards the end with paprika and pepper notes. Gooseberries" "a rich depth of flavour - plenty of fruit but serious fruit like mango and cooking apples, no cissy grapes here" "More pepper. With water: Lowland nature flourishes, cold custard, floral, camomile."

Finish: "Medium, fruity and some spice.", "Peppery", "the finish turning the fruit to fruit salad or the cooking apples to toffee apples before a touch of spice"
