Quite ok, relatively round, but subjectively not sweet enough
On The Rocks: On the nose a moderate Agricole and green grass aroma with some hints of sweetness and spice. Taste reveals a very smooth flavour of mild Agricole, fruit and spice with a little woody notes. Finish is medium with the sweetness and spice tapering off. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a slight sweetness and Pepsi zero. No real distinct aroma. Taste has a strong and immediate punch of sweetness (still very smooth) with it tapering off quickly. This is quite delicious mixed and would drink multiple.
Pleasant without more. The nose is very floral, a little herbaceous, aniseed, slightly woody. In mouth we find this aniseed and floral side.
Sweet. Drinks easily.
