The aromas on this one are wonderful; sweet, slightly fruity, slight of C.chinense and biscuity in a similar way to good Champagne made from Chardonnay grapes. There is almost a grape-like musk, too. It`s very fresh and utterly lovely.
 
The flavors are also very fresh and delicious. This one reminded me a lot of the White Fatalii I reviewed last year. The initial flavors and sweet and mildly fruity, in a ripe pear kind of way. Subtle, but very clean and clear. The fruity flavors give way to a slight undercurrent of green grass-like flavours, which just continue the theme of great freshness. 
 
The heat on these is very reasonable, possibly double that of a good cayenne, but the heat is beautifully mellow and warming, with no real aggressive tendencies.

Sold! Oh that's right this is a review not an auction. Good review Nigel. I really like the way you describe the heat and flavor on this one. Sounds like something that would appeal to my taste. I will have to hunt this one down for a try.
 
Just curious, have you ever tried Peter's Snow White? 
 
Thanks for the review Nigel!  Sounds like they would be amazing chopped up fresh in a salad or maybe on top of some Mexican food.
