A lovely example of Rosebank.
-
A more sleek, and muscular Rosebank than you expect. Smell of extra virgin olive oil along with supple soft fruit,maple syrup , some banana and what seems to be a smoky edge.
-
Old books, almond and more of a grapefruit-like edginess. The oils helps to anchor the more slightly elements but it seems to be just a little fragile. This is borne out when water is added where a needly edge comes through that could be acidity and citrus breaking free.
-
Long aftertaste with lemon touches. Rather complex.
