Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: A little closed without water; hints of grass, crystallised fruits and butter toffee. Water brings a note of dry cracker which mellows into juicier aromas.

Palate: Solid rich stuff that stays in the mouth, all polished wood, soft leather, chocolate, black fruits, pipe smoke and balancing crunchiness.

Finish: Lush and fruity slowly crisping up.

Comment: Like a gentleman's club: all leather chairs, cigar smoke and murmured conversations. A beauty.
