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

70
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.
