Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Yet another light one. Hawthorn cream and with water wet cardboard.

Palate: Better than the nose with surprising grip more oak than you'd guess from that etheral nose.

Finish: Mouth drying. Cigarette smoke.

Comment: There's just nothing to get excited about here.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Grassy, minty. Vanilla merges through in sweet waves, until flooding the lighter vegetal notes. Butterscotch. Develops on pudding notes.

Palate: Sweet, velvety. Lasciviously unfolding biscuity sweet flavours. Slightly over the top.

Finish: Dry mintiness with a gingery touch.

Comment: Interesting but a sweet note too far maybe but the finish gets a grip on itself and leaves a clean minty freshness. Recommended for sweet tooth.

Score: 7.8
