Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Sherry. Old leather. Fig molasses. Treacle. Antique shop. Orange marmalade. Crème brûlée. Palate Sweet. Sherry shines through. Polished oak. Raisins. Dark chocolate. Finish Long, nutty and spicy. Comment Classic sherry. well balanced. A perfect companion for a creamy pud.

Dave Broom Nose Outrageously flagrant in its perfume, like a gentleman’s cologne kept in a rosewood casket. Palate Turkish delight, fresh timber, barley sugar sweetness, rum-like notes. Rich and sweet. Doesn’t take water too well. Finish Dense, creamy/oily. Very powerful with good tannic balance. Supple power. Comment The most fragrant on show. Slightly OTT, but has the weight to cope. George Melly in a glass.
