Tasting notes

Taster Dave Broom

Nose: Light and nutty/malty with some green pear, straw, dry spices. Estery and crisp.
Palate: Equally light and nutty with a touch of milk chocolate in the mid-palate. Soft, easy and ultra-clean.
Finish: Crisp, short and dry.
Comment: Simple, attractive and easy-drinking.

6.8

Taster Martine Nouet

Nose: Intense. Freshly sawn oak. Hint of resin. Malty notes hardly break through. Touch of fruit, syrupy peaches. Becomes soapy with water added.
Palate: Smooth and gentle. Maybe a bit too much. Could be more energetic with a higher alcohol content. Fruitier and nuttier than the nose.
Finish: Soft and pleasant almondy flavours with a touch of dryness.
Comment: Too mild to hold its own against the wood.
