Tasting Notes

Dave Broom Nose Dry and malty with touches of hessian, malt bin and crisp oak. Some orchard fruit, cocoa, but a little musty. Palate Light again but fizzy giving an interest to a very soft and smooth mid-palate. White chocolate. Alcohol sticks out just a little. Finish Digestive biscuits, then chocolate, vanilla pod and cream all the way down the throat. It all comes together at the end. Comment Slightly disappointing until the finish which is worth the entry price.

Martine Nouet Nose Nutty, creamy. Apricots in mascarpone. A light touch of cappuccino. Honey syrup. Palate Smooth, mouthcoating. Toasted hazelnuts. Peach infused in basil. Finish Neat, a little too dry maybe. Comment Another pleasant dram. Has this friendly, straightforward invite. To be served slightly chilled with a fruit dessert.
