Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Vibrant. Citrussy. Lemon curd. A touch of exotic fruit. Passion fruit maybe. Verbena; light and fragrant. Palate Oak shows more than expected. A slight cardboardy note. With a phenolic hint. Finish Tangy, peppery. Comment The palate does not have the refreshing appeal of the nose. Water tames it but not enough to make it really palatable.

Dave Broom Nose Edgy with a light metallic note: aluminium, green grass, geranium, whiff of sulphur. Palate Surprisingly sweet start with a firm grip and a very dry mid palate that carries a light phenolic note from the cask. Finish Short and slightly hard. Comment More in line with the first two. The most ‘grainy’ on show.
