Tasting Notes

Phoebe Calver

Taster

Nose: Light vanilla fudge, rich plummy notes, and syrupy fruit salad with cinnamon sweetness and nutmeg.

Palate: A whole lot more of the plum, almost becoming like Turkish delight, with peaches and cream and more of that delicate nutmeg note.

Finish: Beautifully spiced, almost festive, with cinnamon and nutmeg cutting through the plum.

Comment: This is a little slice of heaven and delicately balanced. I’ll be enjoying this as it comes every time!

Score: 8.5

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Pastel del nata (egg tart), custard cream biscuits, and tinned pineapple. Meringue, fresh raspberries, and orange flesh. Some sawn oak.

Palate: Medium. Under-ripe apricot, some nectarine, and mandarin juice. Plum flesh, blueberry and dried apple. A little oak spice.

Finish: Medium-short, on orange pith and delicate clove notes.

Comment: A malt-forward, fresh dram with plenty to like about it.

Score: 7.4
