Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Surprising. White chocolate, nougat, lemon curd. Coffee and cream liquor. Palate Viscous, milky. Cappuccino. Good balance between palate and nose. Finish Quite dry. Sappy, slightly astringent. Comment Original bunch of flavours that Towser and her descendants would have enjoyed.

Dave Broom Nose Creamy. A pat of butter melting over wholemeal toast. OTT. Water brings out tangerine, lemon and spring flowers. Palate Crisper than the nose suggests. The flowers are hanging in there along with some spiciness but all locked into the soft embrace of the butter. Finish Quite light. Comment Big, gentle and attractive if you are a fan of old-style Aussie Chardonnay.
