Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Slightly indistinct without water. Soft, gentle and nutty.

Palate: Delivers much more than on the distant nose. Quite a thick feel balanced by fragrant top notes, balanced oak and a Nutella like crispness. Balanced oak.

Finish: Dark chocolate.

Comment: Fair balance.

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Luscious fruitiness. Apricot jam, trifle, marzipan, almond and pear tart. A winey note hovering over that temptating bakery selection. Orange blossom.

Palate: Malty and fruity. Lightbodied. Raisins, scones. Cherry jam. Red apple. Muscat grape.

Finish: Soothing, fruity. Rather short.

Comment: A real finesse, some thinness too. But Twiggy was a popular model in her time, wasn't she?

Score: 8
