Nose: sweet fresh fruit, Granny Smith apples, berries, gooseberries, a hint of vanilla, floral, almost soapy at some point, parma violets

Palate: sweet, icing sugar, fruity, juicy pears, sweet apples, pear drops, creamy 

Finish: sweet, rosewater, medium long, floral, roses
Mark: +++/++ 

Conclusion: Honestly, not what I expected from a (undoubtedly young) single grain. Rather sweet and fruity instead of harsh and rough. A good price too.
