Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Tomato leaf, moving into balsamic. Fruit cake. Dry and woody. Oak, oak and more oak.

Palate: Casky deep and very tannic. Like chewing your way out of a wardrobe.

Finish: Tannin.

Comment: Overwooded.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Intensely sherried. A huge aromatic array. Burnt caramel. Overcooked plum jam. Prunes. Dates, dried figs. Burning log.

Palate: Intensely sherried. Burnt caramel. Plum jam. Prunes. Dates, dried figs. Burning log.

Finish: Rather compact, less lingering than expected.

Comment: An old fellow on the edge of declining but with attractive sweet richness. No water, please!
