Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Big, fat and wine like. Sweet and jammy with hot raspberry jelly alongside dry roast peanut, (over) cooked apple and cinnamon.

Palate: Sweet red fruits. Hint of sloe-scented sweetness. Fresh, but as fat as you like in the middle, then comes the cereal.

Finish: Falls away on the back palate.

Comment: A touch slick and a little one-dimensional.

Score: 7.5

Gavin Smith

Taster

Nose: Wine gums and wet garden undergrowth.

Palate: Bright and fruity, a fresh, lively mouthfeel.

Finish: Drying steadily with vanilla and rye.

Comment: Attractive and eminently quaffable.
