Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: An odd oxidised note. Tinned pear and evaporated milk. Burning cigar, roasted nut and a signed note like burning hair. Glossy, but there's something not quite right behind.

Palate: Big hit with good length. Pretty, fresh and balanced though a touch of soapiness knocks it back.

Finish: Cereal.

Comment: A strange package that almost works.

Score: 7

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Cider apples, damp cellar. Dessert-like. Crème caramel. Pears in puff pastry.

Palate: Smooth, quite sweet. Caramelised apples. Tarte Tatin.

Finish: Medium, spicy (nutmeg and a touch of cinnamon).

Comment: Not so far from an aged calvados. Well balanced but the wood is not totally integrated.

Score: 7.5
