Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Tangy, estery. Sour fruit. Hint of nail varnish. Burnt wood. Develops on intense fruit: red plum, apricot, Sherry notes lusciously underline without overpowering. Palate Silky, crisp and firm. A beautiful array of oloroso notes: plum jam, cherries, figs, coffee beans. Finish Long, lingering. Marzipan and oak. Comment As appealing and intriguing as a cupboard full of granny’s jams for a young pilferer (I was one !). You just can’t resist !

Dave Broom Nose Light wood oil notes, chocolate/hazelnut, bracken, frangipan, lemon. A hint of rancio. Mature. Palate Surprisingly soft. Caramel. Light tannic grip, into Terry’s Chocolate Orange, dried cherries, firm oak. Finish Marzipan. Comment We’re looking at big interaction between oak and spirit, but has balance and complexity.
