Nose: Peanuts, oranges, pears, peaches, hints of marzipan. With water, lemon zest, more marzipan, vanilla. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, slippery, watery, static. 
Tasting:  Sour bitter. Pears, peaches, almonds, peanuts, hints of oatmeal. With water, lemon zest, almonds, hints of goji berry. 
Finish: Medium. Peaches, lemon zest, white grapes, peanuts. 

Comments: 

A little odd. There's loads of sweetness and fruit on the undiluted nose, but it fades to a tart, cereally bitterness on the tongue. Nice estery notes on the finish, but it was a bit disappointing after that mouthfeel and mouth flavour.

Verdict:

Not bad.
