Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pale pink. Rhubarb and cream. Light berry fruit accents with dry notes. Dilute redcurrant juice, blackberry leaf, young spirit behind.

Palate: Sweetness sitting on top of dry cereal/dry grass spirit. Not knitted or balanced.

Finish: Fruit pastilles.

Comment: Another finish. Why precisely?

Score: 6.8

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Forest floor. Piney, resiny, tar-like.

Palate: Sweetish, hesitant, then really late surge of cooked fruit. Peach cobbler.

Finish: Slightly clovey. Peppery. Long.

Comment: Oddly distinctive. Curiously sweet and savoury.

Score: 7.8
