Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pannetone with candied peel. As it opens, it softens and turns into custard trifle. Drier with water, maybe leftover trifle sponges.

Palate: Barley-sugar sweetness cut with a light hay-like quality. Decent depth, but with an apple and pear lightness.

Finish: Clotted cream.

Comment: Well balanced. A real wee sweetie.

Score: 7.5

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Sweet pizza dough with a light yeastiness and sparkly Limoncello citrus.

Palate: Lemon toffee and high quality lemon biscuits. Along with all this citrus (there's lime too) it is mouth-coating with an intense sweetness that is very seductive.

Finish: Lemon balm.

Comment: Not overly-complex, and I had thought this one was a bit younger. Packed with enthusiastic personality and delicious.

Score: 8.3
