Let's Taste It : 

Like the Classic Laddie, it starts with a hint of astringency, then the cereals emerge, but it's also very fruity, with melon, grapes, mango, an ounce of lemon and vanilla to support it all. There's a touch of earthiness and whitewash, and the balance is struck between sweetness and earth. On the palate, it's creamy, delicate, quite pastry-like, easy-drinking, almost floral, it's like drinking rosewater. It goes down smoothly, and the finish is long and slightly mentholated, aniseed-flavoured, with a touch of earth and chives.

In Short,
Once again, a very interesting expression, both greedy and cereal-like. Don't hesitate to buy one.
