Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Rather bland at start. Cheers up on a fruity note. Apples in caramel. Touch of freshly cut grass. Palate Sweet, too sweet. Again, a Demerara rum flavour hides the cereal notes. Drying on hot spices. Finish Slightly bitter, grippy. Comment The nose let expect a more original profile. Lack of balance. Too much of that “rummy” sweetness.

Dave Broom Nose Iced gem biscuits. Slightly hard. Lemon and linoleum. Cereal notes and a touch of the farmyard. Overall it’s lean. Palate Seems to split in the mouth. Hard on the start, then clamps onto the palate before light chocolate. Becomes fruitier towards the finish. Finish Berry fruits. Comment Decent structure saves it.
