Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Clean and dry to start (muesli) then becomes increasingly fragrant (pear drops and pineapple, passion fruit, orchid, apricot skin). Touch of wax. Quite discreet.
Palate
Soft and slightly fuller than on the nose. Sweet and peachy in the middle good with a zingy lemon/lime character.
Finish
Soft, gentle.
Comment
Seems young, but very attractive.

Arthur Motley

Nose
Pear drops and a light freshness which at times was almost metallic. Damp leaves, chocolate milk and a bit of foamy banana.
Palate
Sweet, syrupy and chocolatey, with some pepper. Dried papaya.
Finish
Vanilla sweetness cut with tingly pepper.
Comment
Very American oak, and a pretty young thing. Enjoyable. A summer sipper.
