Finish: Dry, with some astringency.

Comment: The nose is sweeter than the palate. A strong character.

Score: 7.6

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Dark sherried colour. Some black fruits alongside date and fig. Smoke comes through with some violet.

Palate: Fresh and slightly ozonic. The midpalate has salted chocolate. Very clean and quite zesty, with a floral edge towards the finish. Doesn't like water.

Finish: Clean and light.

Comment: Balanced and fine.
