Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Soft, creamy. Peaches in syrup. Lemon sherbet. A slight butyric touch. Palate Smooth, supple feel. Oak and fruit are elegantly combined. Liquorice. Finish Firm, flowing nicely. Liquoriced. Comment An interesting profile. Well matured. The butyric note on the nose does not echo on the palate.

Dave Broom Nose Lots of luscious wood on show here. Cocoa butter, hazelnut, nutmeg, tablet. Behind the sweetness is raspberry and toasted marshmallow. Palate Similar to the nose. Water gives it a smooth creaminess. Big, generous and broad with rich silky tropical fruitiness. Finish Long. Silky. Comment Very smooth, but lacking definition due to the length of time in a very active cask.
