Alex Schladetsch 3.5 October 2019

Very floral scent on the nose with an almost wine like aroma. Subtle hints of apple. Initial very floral with strong toffee and fruits coming through. Mild tannic and a strong apple-like linger.

Davey Delaere 4.0 March 2019

Thin sample

The 3.74 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
