Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Complex yet restrained with depth and a subtle charm. Poached pear, peach, creamy toffee/sweet vanilla and hint of light rye notes, lemon nut and hickory.

Palate: Sits on the tongue nicely with an almost dense chewiness. Starts softly then a gentle, subtle lift of lemon icing, sultana cake, rye and soft sweet honey.

Finish: Soft and long.

Comment: Mellow elegance. Joni Mitchell.

Score: 8.5
