Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Lightly nutty with a little liquorice, varnish and oiliness that shifts to light\rleather. Sweet again with added fruitiness.

Palate: Sweet (!) and liquorous. Quite thick feel with blueberry syrup. Ripe and\rscented and almost liqueur like.

Finish: Weighty and full. Jam.

Comment: Soft and easy -and sweet -but all in all a little bland.

Score: 7.4

Dominic Roskrow

Taster

Nose: Lemon and lime starburst, a garden orchard after summer rain, fresh and\rcleansing.

Palate: The expected sweetness is there initially but then it flip-flops and a\rsavoury and peppery wave arrives to add to the fruit. Red liquorice is in the\rmix too, and there's a dying embers/charcoal undertow.

Finish: Prickly and quite long.

Comment: Too busy for some, lots and lots going on, but somehow it all comes together.

Score: 8.8
