SMWS 122.83 – Bright & Cheerful

A truly bright and cheerful aroma on the nose neat greeted the Panel, with the scent of white chocolate lime cookies, vanilla cheesecake and a lemon meringue pie. This was creamy and smooth on the palate with a teasing hint of white pepper. The finish delivered a yellow negroni consisting of pisco, limoncello, gentian, yellow chartreuse and bianco vermouth. After the addition of water, the fragrant scent of a summery white-flower perfume took centre stage with a subtle aroma of pink grapefruit and pineapple marmalade in the background. To taste, lemon verbena-poached peaches and banoffee pie were rounded off with the refreshing sharpness of lemons counterbalanced by the sweetness of pears and herbs found in an old-fashioned lemonade.
