Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Quite funky, with light sulphur/rubber to start. Touch of mashing cereal and\rthen, in a positive way, enamel paint.

Palate: Quite dry on the sides, clinging in the centre. Changes mid-palate into apple but always with a slightly aggressive edge. Lightens with water allowing a toasted note to develop.

Finish: Bready.

Comment: Sadly unbalanced.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Malty and oaky. Vanilla toffee. Chestnut purée. Some sawdust. Medlars. Quite intense really.

Palate: Sweet at first then a firm oak grip brings in astringency. Hazelnut toffee.\rCoffee beans. Water makes it sherbety.

Finish: Dry, slightly prickly. Nutty aftertaste.

Comment: The nose is interesting, the palate is more oaky than the nose. I was\rexpecting more balance.

Score: 7.4
