Dave Broom
- Nose
- Sweet and integrated. Plenty of fresh lime and mint, a little cooked apple and clotted cream.
- Palate
- Very silky and creamy. Light in terms of the character of aromatics but beds well on the tongue. Juicy yellow plum mid palate.
- Finish
- Concentrated, sweet, then spicy oak.
- Comment
- A newcomer immediately holding its own. Has more succulent, yet soft weight than most in its style.
Rob Allanson
- Nose
- Vanilla kicks things off, then a lift of lemon zest, key lime pie. Very fresh as the oak notes come through.
- Palate
- Plenty of vanilla custard here, with ginger and some sugared almonds. There is some oak grip too dancing on the tongue.
- Finish
- Long with that oak gripping.
- Comment
- A new pretender to the throne of blends, but great stuff from Mr Glaser.
