Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Pannetone with candied peel. As it opens, it softens and turns into custard trifle. Drier with water, maybe leftover trifle sponges. Palate Barley-sugar sweetness cut with a light hay-like quality. Decent depth, but with an apple and pear lightness. Finish Clotted cream. Comment Well balanced. A real wee sweetie.

Arthur Motley Nose Sweet pizza dough with a light yeastiness and sparkly Limoncello citrus. Palate Lemon toffee and high quality lemon biscuits. Along with all this citrus (there’s lime too) it is mouth-coating with an intense sweetness that is very seductive. Finish Lemon balm. Comment Not overly-complex, and I had thought this one was a bit younger. Packed with enthusiastic personality and delicious.
