Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Lovely coffee and walnut cake, with a sweet frosting. Then the richness of cedar wood and chunky raisins.

Palate: Things soften up here, with more of the raisin fruit, followed by honey on a slice of heavily toasted sourdough bread.

Finish: A nicely lingering finish, with heather honey and sweet smoke weaving through.

Comment: A really enjoyable development from the darker notes, through to the herbal light notes – beautiful balance.

Score: 8.3

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Honey water and vanilla essence, backed by subtle daffodil and jasmine tea notes. Elderberry wine and gooseberry jam. Green apple with Greek yoghurt. Wensleydale cheese with apricot pieces.

Palate: Subtle sweet ricotta and candied lemon, then intense marmalade and honey-dipped red apple notes. Apple, peach and raspberry juice-flavoured water.

Finish: Medium, on blossom honey.

Comment: A real summer fruit cup.

Score: 8.1
