The sulphur knocks it back in aroma erms, but the palate is good. A simple aperitif.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Sulphur is apparent from the start with William pear, grass, nuts and a little smoke behind. Not exactly effusive or forthcoming .

Palate: Better on tongue than the nose with light vanilla creaminess. Silky centre. Becomes grassier with water. Decent grip

Finish: Lemon. Quite fragrant.

Comment: The sulphur knocks it back in aroma erms, but the palate is good. A simple aperitif.

Score: 6.9

Rob Allanson

Taster

Nose: Very delicate floral, lilies but there is something of a struck match nature as well.

Palate: Cream, vanilla pods.

Finish: A hit of citrus, refreshing, like a lemon and vanilla pudding.

Comment: Another simple pre-dinner dram, not very demanding.

Score: 7
