Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Intensively fruity. Notes of ripe banana. Lemony. Scent of a garden after a summer rainfall. Lemony. Palate Sweet and smooth. Good fruity sensation. Melon. Pears poached in a spicy syrup. Almond cake. Finish Medium, spicy. Comment A fruity character. Well-balanced.

Dave Broom Nose Clean and sweet. Baked banana, vanilla sugar, mango, just mown grass drying in the sun. New oak. Destroyed by water. Palate Quite light and slightly hollow. Lacks a mid-palate and becomes coarse to the finish. Finish Hard. Comment Lacks any real individual character – or middle palate.
