Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Very light but aromatic. New make fragrances. Herbal, floral. Dry hay. Sweet meadow flowers. Wild garlic. Water brings out briny garnish. Palate Sweeter than expected. Light-bodied. Sharp and tangy. Malty and herbal flavours. Toasted hazelnuts. Definitely needs water. Finish Warm, nutty, dry. Comment Nose better than palate. A tired cask?

Dave Broom Nose VERY heathery nose along with macadamia nut, biscuit, dry, hot bracken. Palate Clean and quite a sweet malty/nutty start. Good feel mid-palate. Very fresh and clean. Finish Heather. Biscuity. Comment A good, straightforward Jura.
