Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Spirity at first then sweetness wraps up the nostrils with chocolate syrup and a touch of vanilla. A citrussy breath comes in behind. Hint of varnish. Palate Quite balanced. Velvety texture. The sweetness is not overpowering. Spices speak up. Ginger and white pepper. Finish Medium, dry, with a bitter edge. Comment The sweet Demerara taste is still there but “enriched” with a spicy note.

Dave Broom Nose Fat and corn-sweet. Popcorn and meal. Melted milk chocolate, mango, banana milk shake. Very light spice. Palate Just a hint of dried fruit on the start then dried pineapple and papaya. Quite simple and slightly one-dimensional. Finish Only starts to firm here. Comment It’s sweet...and then sweeter.
