Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Fresh and appetising if slightly hard to get at. Pear drops, lemon leaf and a hint of smoke.

Palate: Very soft and light. Reminds me, somehow, of fern cakes. Light and lemony.

Finish: Light and soft.

Comment: Straight down the middle of the palate. A nice drink.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Floral and fruity. Bluebells. Pears poached in vanilla syrup. Exotic wood. Toasted bread.

Palate: Flowery. Chocolate toffee. Coconut. Burnt cream. Sandalwood.

Finish: Quite delicate, crisp and dry, vanishing on a bitter note. Walnut peel.

Comment: An attractive medium-bodied Rosebank. The sherry finish has added complexity to delicacy. Some exotic notes which makes it really appetising.

Score: 8
