Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Pewter in colour and notes of silver polish. Lawn clippings/grass pile. Immature (or not sufficient interaction). Magic marker pens, unripe pear, slightly grubby. With water, steely and inert.

Palate: Slightly abrasive, the lack of interaction leaves it rather raw and exposed. With water there’s a hint it’s coming together but too early.

Finish: Hard.

Comment: Too young.

Score: 6.5

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Grassy, green. Sweet drying wild flowers. Hay with a touch of honey. Vanilla yogurt. An earthy hint.

Palate: Sweet and caressing. Lovely thick but flowing feel. Like an elderflower syrup. Getting dry and spicy in the end.

Finish: Dry, refreshing, always grassy.

Comment: A simple but well balanced grassy character. Perfect summer dram.

Score: 7.8
