Colour: light amber. Nose: even more restrained than the ‘American’ version, but oakier. Lots of cold ashes, grass, dust… It gets grassier and grassier. Hints of stone, vanilla, sand… Plus just a little caramel. Well, this one isn’t too aromatic, to say the least. Mouth: quite thin and ‘narrow’ again. Vanilla, dust, water… Getting quite grainy and grassy, with again some caramel, but not much else, except perhaps some hints of aniseed and violets. The finish is medium long and sweetish, with some fructose and some dusty notes. I liked the American way better – hey, who said for once?
