Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Autumnal.Charred wood,bonfire and hands plunged deep into moist leaf mould. Thick and toffeed,bold with a smoky edge Opens up to mulberry and,with water,a hint of cordite.

Palate: Seems old,deep and quite resinous. Dried fruits,walnut,furniture polish. A slow,elegant and natural quality to it Big tannins,but sweetness to balance.

Finish: Light smoke then a burst of strawberry.

Comment: Elegant and complex. Highly recommended.

Score: 8.6
