Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose A sour scent of dry cider. Tangy, not pleasant. Unripe orange. A yeasty and sulphury note in the back. Palate Sweeter than the nose but still the citrussy sourness of unripe fruit. Touch of bees’ wax. Getting spicy. Finish Smoother than at start, biting in the back. Comment The nose puts you off, the palate tries to make it up but the result is not exciting.

Dave Broom Nose Slightly edgy. Dry and slightly malty, a hint of dunnage warehouse then comes banana, crisp green eating apple. Palate Very lifted and effervescent. Light estery fruits to the fore. Lemon, lime and then Turkish yoghurt and honey cut with almond. Fragrant. Finish Spicy. Comment To me it is a classic balanced fresh sweet Laddie.
