A little pongy at points, but with youthful charm. A tyke with a grubby face.

Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Blackberries and stables (hay and dung). Ashy. Compost and farmyards.

Palate: Ashy, silagey, and dark chocolate.

Finish: Berries and wet grass.

Comment: A little pongy at points, but with youthful charm. A tyke with a grubby face.

Score: 8

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: A plain nose whose smokiness mingles with coumarin. In fact it's almost like salt drying on the clothes. In time, wet barns, fishing nets and burning orange crates.

Palate: Intense if a little narrow, it expands into a very odd flavour which brings to mind cow pats, then a burst of citrus.

Finish: Biscuity, then sweet.

Comment: This is just too odd.

Score: 7.5
