Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Damp earth, kiwi, lemon Jif, tangerine. Pretty.

Palate: Citric, then woody and a touch buttery.

Finish: Crisp grassiness, with a little earthiness attached. Chocolate milk.

Comment: A pretty face with muddy feet.

Score: 8.5

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Back to the bready template again: digestive biscuits, vanilla, melon, coconut matting with some sweetness behind. Pine needles.

Palate: Better than the nose and fills out with a splash of water shifting it into fruit smoothie territory. Soft and gentle.

Finish: Cocoa butter.

Comment: OK, but lacks impact and definition.

Score: 7.5
