Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Light and fragrant. Grassy. Herbal. Straw. Garden mint. Elegant spices. Paprika, touch of curry. Palate Incredibly fresh and clean. Enticing, fresh herb flavours. Luscious sherbety mouthfeel. Finish Not very long but keeps the taste profile high. Tender bitterness. Comment As refreshing as a herbal tea but much more rewarding and fulfilling. Would suit a leg of lamb with mint sauce.

Dave Broom Nose Delicate and floral with hints of boiled milk and dry malt. Seems to have quite a subtle richness. Palate Fragrant blossoms: orange/jasmine and a chewy start, but a sour note spoils things. Finish Dry and soft then that milky note again. Comment Sadly it’s just unbalanced.
