Dave Broom
77- Nose
- Impressive, manages to be light, creamy, oily and smoky at the same time. Ice cream on a seaweed strewn beach, macadamia nut.
- Palate
- Smoke to start, then immediately sweetens into fat ripe fruits. A peppery attack then smooths and softens.
- Finish
- A bit cloying which disturbs the balance.
- Comment
- Worth a try but not the most subtle or refined of the range.
Arthur Motley
87- Nose
- Jelly babies, ripe banana and pineapple and a persistent and brooding woodsmoke. Strawberry jam, sweet mint and creamy vanilla.
- Palate
- Creamy and viscous with a lovely meld of sweet and smoky flavours. Smoked almonds and woodsmoke, more of those jelly babies.
- Finish
- Jam and smoke. Relatively short.
- Comment
- Delicious combination of intense sweetness with moreish smoke.
