Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Estery. Exotic. Ripe bananas, coconut milk. Another raw bread dough profile with a strong yeasty note. Palate Quite assertive. The alcohol bite gives a fizzy feel on the tongue. Some fruit then a cardboardy note. A phenolic hint in the back. Finish Dry, tangy with a nutty aftertaste. Comment The nose is more appealing than the palate. Water tames it.

Dave Broom Nose Succulent and vibrant. Mint sauce, camphor, dessicated coconut and cocoa powder. In time, quince. Powerful. Palate Pure, sweet and tongue coating. Sour cherry, liquorice and candlewax. The note is a little like incense cut with pu-er aged tea. Finish Ash and then ginger. Comment An amazing array of flavours and aromas from one so young.
