Tasting Notes

Neil Ridley

Taster

Nose: Very unusual on the first nosing - artichoke hearts, broad beans, nettles and fresh gooseberries. Very vegetative indeed.

Palate: The gooseberries continue to the palate, with a salty note, some hidden creaminess and tart lemon juice.

Finish: The finish develops more of a creaminess alongside some woody spice -a touch of liquorice root and oak.

Comment: Not unpleasant, but not without fault either. An enigma this one.

Score: 7.4

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: At first asparagus, damp leaf mulch, boiled broccoli, not sulphuric but very vegetal focussed. Then a little salted caramel, coffee grinds and sharp \rgreen fruits.

Palate: That salted caramel note comes through, green fruits, apple skins, unripe tomatoes, buttercream and steamed milk.

Finish: Some spice with more buttercream and ginger.

Comment: The nose is a little off putting at first, but don't dismiss this, it has depth.

Score: 7.8
