Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| Adelphi: Initial slight nose prickle, in spite of its low ABV. A dense and fruity (mellow) nose; scented oil - slightly mineralic and Chablis-like - light toffee and raspberry boiled sweets, becoming more like a sweety shop as it opens; a dry note at the back. |
| Taste |
| Adelphi: Rich, oily and mouth-drying after a sweet start, at full strength with fruits of the forest, even slightly tropical. It does drink very well at natural strength, but a little water opens it up a bit and introduces more pronounced fruity and dusty notes - both sweet and dry, with hints of white chocolate. |
| Finish |
| Adelphi: This combination comes across elegantly in the taste, with a medium length savoury finish. |
