Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Stylish and mature. Lemon zest, dried pear, cereal, cream, pie crust honeycomb, sealing wax, parma violet. Deepens and mellows in time. Lightly oily with a touch of smoke.

Palate: Soft and gentle, with raspberry notes and a creamy edge. Crisps up nicely in the mid-palate.

Finish: Creamy and soft.

Comment: A very classy blend. Recommended.

Score: 8.5

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Perfumed. Ripe pear. Delicate nuttiness. Lemony. Freshly varnished wood. Pleasant fruity bouquet. Releases more citrus fruit with water.

Palate: Smooth to start with then quickly drying on spices. Slightly austere.

Finish: Minty and spicy. Lingering with a dry edge.

Comment: Attractive nose but a wee more restrained palate than expected.

Score: 7.8
