Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Dry and malty with touches of hessian, malt bin and crisp oak. Some orchard fruit, cocoa, but a little musty.

Palate: Light again but fizzy giving an interest to a very soft and smooth mid-palate. White chocolate. Alcohol sticks out just a little.

Finish: Digestive biscuits, then chocolate, vanilla pod and cream all the way down the throat. It all comes together at the end.

Comment: Slightly disappointing until the finish which is worth the entry price.

Score: 7.3

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Nutty, creamy. Apricots in mascarpone. A light touch of cappuccino. Honey syrup.

Palate: Smooth, mouthcoating. Toasted hazelnuts. Peach infused in basil.

Finish: Neat, a little too dry maybe.

Comment: Another pleasant dram. Has this friendly, straightforward invite. To be served slightly chilled with a fruit dessert.

Score: 8
