Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fresh, vibrant and clean. Pine/forest floor, tangerine zest. Becomes sweeter and more chocolatey in time.

Palate: Light and fresh with a tingle akin to hot sand. A bleached maritime feel to start though it sweetens as it opens.

Finish: Dry, tingling.

Comment: Lighter and more lean than the '73.
