Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: More citrus and a hint of wood oil. The nuts have shifted to bran,but water brings out a thicker aromareminiscent of banana split with chopped hazelnuts.Almond milk
Palate: A soft start with good feel and better structure. Some sweet liquorice. Though dulled a little with water thesweet:dry interplay continues seen on the nose continues in the mouth. A crisp note in the centre flows well.
Finish: Ripe black fruits.
Comment: Good balance.
