Dave Broom
75- 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
77- 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.
