Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet

Nose
Perfumy. Floral. Carnation. Dry cider. Crushed fresh hazelnuts. Quite a rich aromatic profile.
Palate
Sweet, with a good fruity profile. Wine gums. Nice creaminess.
Finish
Medium, pleasant sweetness.
Comment
A mild character, soft and pleasant but lacking nerve. Fine for a sweet tooth.

Dave Broom

Nose
Allspice, light cooked fruit, green plum, sour cherry, pomegranate, apple skin, a little hint of musk. Ripe tropical fruits. Rich and layered.
Palate
As sweet as the nose suggests, but this has an extra grip and acidic kick to add interest and structure. Better without water, but well balanced.
Finish
Firm mix of fruit and oak.
Comment
This has better balance than most of the rest on show. Dares to show individuality.
