Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Nose
Fragrant. Custard and créme brûlée, quince, baked apple (almost the pastry of an apple pie as well). Hint of vetiver. Balanced oak.
Palate
Gentle and soft in feel. Lightly sugary with a hint of mint and plenty of floral character. Balanced.
Finish
Long quitesweet.
Comment
Well balanced and with real charm and some complexity.

Martine Nouet

Nose
Sweet, clean bouquet of autumn fruit. Ripe apples, cooking pears, a touch of grape. All framed by an elegant oakiness. In the back, a hint of toasted bun. A citrussy note.
Palate
Beautifully balanced. Smooth and velvety. The flavours open like a blossoming flower: gently, displaying interlaced fruit and oak.
Finish
Creamy, toffeish, with just a dry spicy punctuation.
Comment
Mature, balanced, elegant.
