Tasting Notes

Arthur Motley Nose Lime cordial, blackcurrant Chewitts and warm plasticene. All in wispy, etheral levels. Palate Sweet, then grassy then dry. Finish A ghost of dry maltiness and hot hay. Comment So subtle it's barely there, but an intriguing mystery.

Dave Broom Nose Pretty. Cereal, macadamia nut, meadow flowers, white fruit, light apple, herbal, medlar jelly. With water there’s increased perfume reminiscent of an old-fashioned talcum powder flowers and some lime zest. Palate Sweet and light with a soft elegant mid-palate. Hints of vanilla, coconut and flowers. Finish Sweet then lightly drying. Comment Gentle with excellent balance. Ridiculously lovely, like an Edwardian beauty.
