Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Lean yet gentle. Some cereal, flour, then comes polished oak. Water moves it towards orange and grapefruit zest.

Palate: Good flow with some spiciness, floral notes and a tingle of red peppercorn deepening into runny toffee and vanilla pod. Soft and substantial with creamy weight.

Finish: Gentle, if short.

Comment: I'm not fat, I'm just big boned.

Score: 7.8
